Package: mpg123
Version: 1.12.1-3.2
Severity: wishlist

It is long time since I last used mpg123, but it used to be the lowest
consuming of all players, today I played a song (typical 128 kb/s joint
stereo encoding) and saw it take 23% CPU on my  AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor
3000+, I have just played the very same file under audacious and it was
always under 3%, so I guess something is wrong here.

I tried to investigate, as I saw it was using x86-64 (SSE) for decoding, to
see if I was able to select a more standard decoder, but it seems that the
only ones compiled on amd64 are: x86-64 generic generic_dither
and choosing generic was even worse, 31% of CPU eaten.

Wow, I have done more tests right now and saw that this was due to using -v,
I mean, if I play it without -v it takes under 3% and if I run it with -v it
goes to 30-40%.

I was reporting this bug thinking it was a problem in our building of the
package, but it seems that there is a problem in how -v is implemented, thus
I'd say it is an upstream thing.

I don't know what else to add here, if you are not able to reproduce it or
need more info just add for it.

Regards.
