Public bug reported:

Availability
============
Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian.

Rationale
=========
For the 1.14 series, GStreamer upstream moved MP3 encoding and decoding into 
gst-plugins-good. These are installed by default, and so now we can have MP3 
support in the default install. The desktop team would like this feature.

For that, it uses some libraries and we'll need to put them in main.

Security
========
There are some CVEs in the history of the project.

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/mpg123
https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/mpg123.html

The Ubuntu CVE page lists a 'needed' one which AFAICS is fixed in
1.25.8-1.

Quality assurance
=================
Desktop team is subscribed.

Dependencies
============
We need libmpg123-0 in main, and this depends on libc6 only.

Standards compliance
====================
4.1.2. debian/rules is slightly complicated because it generates some wrapper 
scripts for some old binary names. Those binaries don't go in a package that we 
need in main.

Maintenance
===========
Desktop team will maintain. In Debian this is maintained by the multimedia 
team, which is active. We don't envisage the package diverging from Debian.
