[mythtv-users] alternatives to mythmusic?

Gabe, if you just type mpg123 from the command line (no params) do you get a
blurb about "This version of mpg321 has been configured with alsa as its
default.  libao output device."  If not then maybe you need to find a '-a'
or '-o' option to make it point to alsa (mpg123 -o alsa FILENAME).  I go out
my digital so I know it CAN work.  Your mplayer conf file is probably
already setup with a proper '-ao' in its case.  I also have an
/etc/asound.conf instead of a .asoundrc file.  Were you running your command
as root or a user?  If not root then try root.  And verbose mode really
makes it think it is playing?

BTW, the following is a patch to mp3act to get stop/prev/next working in
jukebox mode.  This was required on my FC3 system.  The output of 'ps' is
different amongst distributions it seems.
