Hello Nanakos,

I tried the -b option and I can confirm that it is easy to reproduce at least
one of the described problems with version 0.3.2-1.1.

   mpg321 -b 100 song.mp3

The program almost immediately ended with exit code 0 without playing the song.

In my opinion the severity of this bug is at least "serious".

I see that mpg321 already had the -b option in version 0.2.12-1, and I cannot
reproduce the problem with that version.

Disabling the -b option seems a good idea at first sight.  The program seems to
be usable without -b option.

I suggest to write a warning to standard error about the disabled -b option
when the -b option is tried, so that command line users immediately see that
the -b option is disabled.

I suggest to update the usage() function in mpg321.c to hide the -b option or
to mention that -b is disabled.

I suggest to alert the maintainers of packages in Debian using mpg321 so that
they can verify whether disabling the -b option can cause problems in their
packages.

Regards,

Bart Martens
