[Bug 464008] [NEW] mpg123 produces skippy output in 9.10

[SilverStreak]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mpg123

Relevent Information: Ubuntu 9.10, mpg123 1.7.3

After the upgrade to 9.10, I tried using mpg123 to play back MP3 audio
files. When I did this, mpg123 would not output a steady output stream,
instead "skipping" a la an old CD player. Sometimes, the entire program
would become unresponsive, forcing a killall to quit. I tried reverting
back to a previous version of mpg123, however the problem was still
present.

The odd thing is, is that this problem is not present in any other audio
application, including mpg321. This problem also does not manifest if
you preview the audio file in nautilus - odd, because nautilus should
still be using mpg123 as the audio preview backend. There is also no
skipping if the .wav output option is selected.

In light of all this, I am unsure as to whether this problem is an
mpg123 problem, or an audio backend (pulse, alsa, etc.) problem.
