I'm working on this nifty (heh-heh) MP3 jukebox with a CGI front end. Part of it scans a directory tree of artists, albums, songs, puts together a set of web pages someplace else that point to them. I intend to use MPG123 as the actual player called by the CGI program. I call it like cmd: '/usr/bin/mpg123 "/data/mp3/Queen/-- Studio Albums --/(1975) A Night at the Opera/11 Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody.mp3" ' Which I have echoing to the browser, I just copied it off the screen. I can use mpg123 to play MP3 files (as root) and that works normally. But when I try call it from a CGI program it seems to flail around trying to find suitable devices and drivers, when the default is fine at a command line; igh Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layers 1, 2 and 3 version 1.26.3; written and copyright by Michael Hipp and others free software (LGPL) without any warranty but with best wishes Decoder: NEON64 Trying output module: alsa, device: <nil> Playing MPEG stream 1 of 1: test.mp3 ...

And failing - Audacity works with it.
