it is a standalone program and one that works well ... could never get to work the alsa-version for 0.5.x either, though .. but for the 0.5.x versions, the oss-version (i.e. normal) worked just fine using oss-emulation in alsa. this has changed, though. I don't know why, but mpg123 used to be the only mp3-player in linux that could play low bitrate and low samplingrate mp3s (as produced by lame --preset voice) in decent quality ... now with 0.9.x (due to some change in the oss emulation code, I expect) it sounds completely shitty, like if the person talking was gargling at the same time. although when I use mpg123 only to decode to pcm and then pipe the sound trough a native alsa-app, it sounds just fine ... like doing: ecasound -f:s16_le,1,24000 -i:somespeech.mp3 -o:alsahw,0,0 only one of my problems with 0.9.x-versions .. but everyone kept telling me I shouldn't be using 0.5.x anymore ... does anyone know whether native alsa code is to be expected for mpg123 at any time again? (using the dev-version right now, because, contrary to the stable version, it is at least vbr-aware ... and no, using stable or dev of mpg123 doesn't change the above-mentioned behaviour) not too sure whether I won't switch back to 0.5.x at some stage ... -- Michael Hellwig aka The Eye olymp.idle.at admin check out http://homepage.uibk.ac.at/~csaa5128 for gpg public key and some other info _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
