Lionel, Well, I installed mpg123 on my PC Engines ALIX 1C and it worked fine playing mp3 files without changing my snd_amd5536.ko driver. However, I have gone ahead and made a version of snd_amd5536.ko that has larger default buffers. Hopefully, this will work on your machine. Go here:

Hi, re Carlos A. M. dos Santos comment: The amd5536.c informs that it is derived from Bruce R. Montegue's AMD CS5530 audio driver and the Linux CS5535 ALSA driver. I did not find the original source files, but supposing that they are licensed under GPL you will need a written permission
