asterisk users - Sep 2006 - Replacing mpg123 with madplay under Solaris?

I'm running Asterisk 1.2.12.1 on a Solaris 10 box.  I've built mpg123 
but it doesn't want to play well under Solaris so I want to replace it 
madplay.

I've edited app/app_mp3.c and res/res_musiconhold.c to change the calls 
for mpg123 to madplay with the appropriate options.

The madplay executable works find on this box from the command line but 
is giving a segmentation fault when called from Asterisk.

Has anyone already done this switch?  Can they share some pointers?

I run here Asterisk on FreeBSD with the buildin MOH from asterisk. It
plays here mp3s perfectly, why not use it too?


Best regards,

I'm using a little older version of asterisk with Madplay, but
is it not still configured the same way, through the......

"musiconhold.conf"

; Music on hold class definitions

[classes]

default => custom:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/,/usr/local/bin/madplay -Q 
--attenuate=-5 --mono -R 8000 --output=RAW:-

iron2 => custom:/var/lib/asterisk/iron2/,/usr/local/bin/madplay -Q -z 
--attenuate=-25 --fade-in --mono -R 8000 --output=RAW:-

Just stating the obvious: the only please where you'd need mpg123 is for
streaming mp3 from a remote site. And even then, there is a performance
penalty. If you have control of the streaming source, streaming raw
sinear, or gsm, can save much on the performance side.
