OK, I'm having problems using MPD (http://musicpd.org) or mpg321 with this file http://thelinuxshow.com/archives/2003/tls-11-25-2003.mp3 (actually any of the mp3s in that archive). Alsaplayer plays it fine, and some others have said it plays fine in MPD, which makes me think this is a libao problem, but I have tried this in XMMS with the xmms-mad module and it doesn't seem to work there either. Any ideas? Is this a known bug?
Many thanks, sbh
P.S. mpg123 and mpg321 report different values for the bitrate and samples... please don't ask me anything too technical as I'm the definition of 'enduser' :)

libmad has no trouble decoding the file, so the problem must lie elsewhere. Have you tried playing the file with madplay?
madplay reports:
01:22:19 Layer III, 16 kbps, 11025 Hz, single channel, no CRC 94546 frames decoded (1:22:19.5), +4.8 dB peak amplitude, 7423 clipped samples

Interestingly, I note the exact opposite occurrence: mpg123 won't play that file, but mpg321 will.
mpg321: MPEG 1.0 layer III, 16 kbit/s, 11025 Hz mono mpg123: MPEG 2.5 layer II, 56 kbit/s, 12000 Hz dual-channel
Given Rob's previous mail, I am confident that it is mpg123 in the wrong.

While mpg123 is clearly wrong here, I should note that mpg321 mislabels the stream as MPEG 1.0. :-)
48000, 44100, 32000 Hz: MPEG-1 (ISO/IEC 11172-3) 24000, 22050, 16000 Hz: MPEG-2 LSF (ISO/IEC 13818-3) 12000, 11025, 8000 Hz: MPEG 2.5 (FhG non-standard)
