asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Request to schedule in the past?!?!

Hello,

Ever since I started using Asterisk I always get this
error:

Jan 10 15:39:26 NOTICE[4501]: res_musiconhold.c:463
monmp3thread: Request to schedule in the past?!?!

I have a dedicated system system that really runs only
Asterisk:

- Pentium III 500Mhz
- 128MB of RAM
- 10GB of Disk Space
- SuSE v9.2
- MySQL
- Apache (only for use with Asterisk)
- NTP client for clock synch

There is no X server, no other apps besides NFS
(copying files back and forth) and some standard
services.  There is no real load on the system as it
only runs in a SoHo environ.

I notice this error on calls, as there is a short
cut-out in the audio.  Even if I run Asterisk in
non-verbose/non-console mode/psuedo-realtime the
problem persists.

How do I resolve this once and for all?

Thank you.

it's clear that your processor is overloaded. 
recommend you to use rawplayer instead of mpg123 for moh
by converting your mp3 files to raw using sox (with mp3 support)
take a look at cvs head.

I had the same problem on a non-loaded machine running Gentoo. I simply
upgrade mpg123 (using the emerge command in Gentoo) and the problem went
away. You might want to try to reinstall/upgrade mpg123 and see if that
helps.

I would not use mpg123... It is just taking too much resources and
sometimes
it crashes the server etc.

We use this with no problems:
