asterisk users - May 2004 - Notice for Gentoo Users In Regard to mpg123

Hi there,

After scratching my head for days on why there is horrible white noise in
musiconhold, I finally found out that the latest emerge version of mpg123:
0.59s-r2 is not working well with asterisk.  However, if you get the latest
source from mpg123.de mpg123-pre0.59s.tar.gz.  Then it works wonderfully.

Just a heads up for the Gentoo admin

I noticed this ~3 months ago ^_^

at that time, reverting to 0.59r (potential security issues) or 
resampling all mp3 moh to the actual recommended 8khz seemed to be the 
only workarounds.

but now I am using 0.59s-r3 for a few weeks (masked as ~ in portage) and 
it's pretty much back to the previous behavior (i.e. I can throw 
high-quality vbr files at it, and asterisk is still happy)

cheers

Thanks for the effort but please read the list next time.   (I'm the one
that started the thread about mpg123 0.59r)
