Yes, for the powerpc-using minority:  mpg123's output sounds like
it should (for me), whereas mp3lib produces junk.

In my previous posting, I have shown that this is very probably
an interaction between gcc and mp3lib.

Maybe it would be more productive to figure out the exact nature of
this interaction than just blindly copying stuff over from mpg123
in the hope that it will do good.  Okay, I'm on my own.
