Hi all, I'm trying to build mp3 jukebox out of Efika, which is an embedded MPC5200 based board. I got to the stage where I'm able to play a wav file using aplay. But when I try to play an mp3 using mpg123 it freezes after decoding a few frames. I spent a few hours trying to get this work, but I'm slowly running out of ideas. I'm running crux 2.6 I also tried to used mplayer and play wave and mp3. It does not work either. Any advice would be appreciated. Output of mpg123 Code: mpg123 -vvv -a plughw:0,0 -o alsa Take_Five.mp3 Trying output module alsa. Using default module dir: /usr/lib/mpg123 Module dir: /usr/lib/mpg123 Module path: ./output_alsa.la Note: alsa is the last output option... showing you any error messages now. Output module 'alsa' chosen.
