I downgraded lame back to the previous package and rebooted the machine.
That fixed the skipping and dropouts from totem/gstreamer.
Shortly after that I got a kernel upgrade notice on my auto update tool.
I installed that but declined the upgrade to lame. After reboot that
still worked. Last night I reinstalled the lame upgrade and did another
cold start. Still no skipping and dropouts from totem/gstreamer.
mplayer still doesn't want to hear it.
mplayer -ao pulse my.mp3 ====> No Joy

padsp mplayer my.mp3 works.
It says:
AO: [oss] 44100Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
Sound it good.
`aplay -f dat my.mp3` just makes a hissy noise, but it's a different
hissy noise than `aplay my.mp3` does.
