Sometimes I see something similar on my systems when several (3 or more)
MOH streams are fed by mpg123. Suddenly some or all streams are
stuttering, but the CPU load doesn't seem to go up significantly.

My CPU load is permanent at 200-250%. I have 7 active mpg123 streams.

On another box running Asterisk 10.8.0, 4x 2.4 GHz, I have 49 active streams, but they get fed via mplayer instead of mpg123. There the load is close to zero, but I have to say that I have only 1-2 concurrent callers there. Strange!

Have you looked at what is happening with the receive queue of mpg123
(pgrep mpg123 and netstat -t -p)?

netstat -t -p shows me each of the 7 IP addresses and Recv-Q has some bytes listed (55000 - 113000) for each IP. According to man netstat Recv-Q means "The count of bytes not copied by the user program connected to this socket". Note the "not". Now, is that good or bad?

I have written a small daemon for myself that watches the receiving tcp
streams and if nothing seems to be happening, simply touches
musiconhold.conf and issues an "asterisk -rx \"moh reload\"". Not nice,
but it works, eventually. When I listen to the same music streams I find
that they are not as stable as one would wish, at least at a time scale
of several hours.

What I do is simply call killall mpg123 every 10 minutes via cron. Asterisk MOH will restart the process immediately and there will be less than a second of silence for the listener. Not that elegant but it helps with hanging audio streams...

When using several moh file classes, I have never hat audio problems.

Me neither.

Thanks!
Markus
