Greetings folks,
I'd like to inquiry on how many of you are using the mpg123 on your
FreeBSD Asterisk installations and how useful you think this dependency
for the Asterisk port is? Personally for me, leaving MoH as it is per
out-of-ports install causes mpg123 processes eat CPU 100% under FreeBSD
6.0... I've switched to native format MoH since 1.1 and haven't looked
back for mpg123. Was wondering if we really want to have it installed as
a dependency at all for the /usr/ports/net/asterisk. At least having a
WITHOUT_MPG123 switch in the makefile could help us keep our port list
as minimal as possible.
if you try the asterisk-devel port, it does not have that and
a few other dependencies, and it uses either the trunk code or
a branch with some modifications of mine that i am using on
FreeBSD.
yes there is a problem with mpg123 because the parent (asterisk)
process doesn't handle interaction with the children (mpg123)
properly, at least on freebsd.
a change was committed last summer, but backed out because it
caused some problem on linux. i gave up on tracking the issue
because i don't use mpg123 or moh anyways.
cheers

p.s. we are now in a rather long ports freeze in freebsd so
for the next couple of weeks there are basically no commits
allowed to the ports tree
If you see mpg123 consume 100% CPU upon
shutting down asterisk, this sounds like a
familiar symptom.
I recall looking at mpg123 and finding that
when asterisk exits and closes the pipe to
mpg123, mpg123 would not detect
that the pipe closed, but rather loop indefinitely
reading 0 bytes from the closed pipe.
Since it's possible for the pipe to close unexpectedly
I assumed that this was a bug in mpg123.
The (rather old) patch is here:
http://www.whiteoaklabs.com/code/patch-mpg123.c
The patch isn't present in the current mpg123 port
and should apply cleanly to the port.
cd /usr/ports/audio/mpg123/files
wget http://www.whiteoaklabs.com/code/patch-mpg123.c
cd /usr/ports/audio/mpg123
make deinstall
make reinstall
Does that fix it?
Cheers,
Rich
