I used it, took it from your web page, but I found that
there are some mp3's which it doesn't play but which
mpg123 does play.  (something to do with mp3 headers?)

I hacked around this in mpg123  by checking for a
divisor of 0.0 and replacing it by something small
but unequal to zero.  I got away with that but
Nigels solution (which I did not try) looks nicer.
