Hello - 

In a prior post (subject K3b & cdwriter) I explained the method I use
for decoding mp3s to wav files so I can make a CD from them. I mentioned
that I was planning on scrapping this because mpg123 fails to play the
file(s) in question. So (presumably) decoding via mpg123 is not an
option here.

What I subsequently found -- mplayer to the rescue. At least mplayer
will play them when mpg123 refuses to do so. I also tried lame to decode
one of these files, and the result is a segmentation fault preceded by
a number of unsupported messages relating to bitstream resyncing and
frequency changes. The process (in comparison with mpg123 piping to sox)
is *significantly* slower. 

I'm thinking along the lines "if mplayer can play it, it should be able
to decode it." mplayer -streamdump <file> dumps core. :( And the
(incomplete) dumped stream is in mp3 format. Somehow I don't think it's
going to work.

I imagine folks here have tried this before. Any help?
