Hmm ..... That's the "real" mpg123 alright.

If it's in /usr/local/bin/ then it almost certainly was built from Source
Code.
Our working installation (on Debian Lenny) is Asterisk 1.6.2.9 (built from
source) with mpg123 version 1.4.3 (installed from a .deb).
More tests to try:
Can you listen to an mp3 file through the Asterisk server's own sound card
(if it has one; if not, use the -w option to write to a .wav file, and test
that by copying it to another machine which has a sound card), by invoking
mpg123 from the command line?
Try
$ file $(which asterisk)
$ file /usr/local/bin/mpg123
and make sure both are compiled for the same architecture ("ELF 64-bit LSB
executable" or "ELF 32-bit LSB executable"). If one is 32-bit and the other
is 64-bit, you *will* get problems.
