I am building an interface to mpg123 from another application using the
Remote command interface. I have observed that if the FORMAT command is
issued to get the audio sample rate (e.g. 44100) after a file is loaded but
before starting playback, the mpg123 process will crash when playback is
started. If the file is loaded and played, then paused, then FORMAT issued,
playback will continue without error. I've duplicated this using a USB
audio "card" as well as the build-in mcasp interface.
Linux BBB 4.4.30-ti-r64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 4 21:23:33 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
mpg123 version: 1.20.1, installed using apt install mpg123 on BBB running
jessie

[audio.c:614] error: Error in writing audio (Success?)!
[mpg123.c:681] error: Deep trouble! Cannot flush to my output anymore!
Doing the same thing without issuing the "FORMAT" command works fine. Doing
the same thing, but after loading file, beginning playback, then pausing,
then issuing "FORMAT" command, then continuing playback (or seeking back to
the beginning of the file and playing) works fine.
Any ideas how to resolve this, or repair it? I've searched and not found
anything about this (most issues seemed to be related to alsa).
Thanks.
