With the current releases, you can have several output options to choose from 
at runtime.
Though one of them is still the build-time configurable default and there is no 
auto-detection going on.
To use oss when alsa is default, you have to specify `mpg123 -o oss` and vice 
versa.
Unless you specify it, ./configure will choose alsa as default when alsa 
library is present; otherwise the first that works in this list:

alsa oss coreaudio sun win32 esd jack portaudio pulse sdl nas arts dummy

On Linux, OSS build is likely to always work as one kernel header file is all 
that's needed.
I guess that in future, mpg123 should support some way to set the default audio 
output at runtime, possibly by using an environment variable.

Alrighty then,

Thomas (mpg123 maintainer).
