This is a known problem with unpatched versions of mpg123.
I think it should work if you do not use "-p" (no CRC),
or add "-t" (no VBR header)
The problem is the Xing VBR headers is not using CRC checksums,
but all following frames (since you specified -p) do use
CRC checksums. mpg123 does not allow changing turning CRC on and
off within the bitstream.
