No, I cannot reproduce this at will: I have only noticed that it happens 
exactly once sometimes after a dist-upgrade.

I see no new/specific output by adding -o alsa.

Bug#829434: mpg123 segfaults once after dist-upgrades

[Marco d'Itri]

Package: mpg123
Version: 1.22.4-1
Severity: normal

This has happened multiple times to me after a dist-upgrade, but I do 
not know exactly how to reproduce it:

mpg123 --random --quiet --control --title ...

[jack.c:252] error: Failed to open jack client: 0x1
[jack.c:58] warning: FIXME: One needs to wait or write some silence here to 
prevent the last bits of audio to vanish out of the ringbuffer.
(segfault here)

If I try again after this error then it works fine.
I do not have jack installed.

 IMHO the best idea at this point would be to toss out libav, and rebuild
 the rdeps with ffmpeg. Now, before it's too late for jessie.
Agreed. The interested parties should really raise this with the CTTE 
ASAP.

 Personally I don't feel like dropping libav in favor of ffmpeg now at
 this stage. It's too late for Jessie.
Except that, for a lot of the depending packages, there would be an 
immediate benefit in the number of bugs fixed.

Personally I feel that we have inflicted libav on our users for way more 
time than it was sensible to do.

 Moreover, I am curious why I haven't seen you working on libavcodec
 bugs in Debian before, and why do you believe you can do a better job
 with the ffmpeg package currently on NEW?
Why should he work on libavcodec when he (along with many other people) 
wants ffmpeg instead?
