Mpg123 is a fast, free and portable MPEG audio player and decoder library mainly for Unix (but also ported to other platforms). It supports MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 layers 1, 2, and 3, with CD quality playback even on relatively slow CPUs.

This is another regression-fixing release, which happens when skimping on verifying ground-breaking reworking of existing code. The resync logic no longer signals premature end of stream on bad headers, short seeks don't get bit reservoir unnecessarily cleared, and sample-accurate seek for files without gapless metadata is accurate again.
With the 1.14 series, in an attempt to better handle out-of-disk situations, the WAV writing code was changed, and that broke writing of WAVs to standard output (raw data with a single WAV header in front). This should work again with the current release.
This one fixes a bug that got uncovered with the (modest) reorganization of the parser code in 1.14.0. With the feeder API, it was possible to miss a format change in the (damaged) stream, the more dire outcome being the allocated output buffer being too small (switching from MPEG layer 3 with 576 samples per frame to 1152 samples per frame).
This version adds serveral new features and enhancements including unsynchronized lyrics display, a LOADLIST control command, and improvements and fixes in libmpg123 stream parsing. One focus is the handling of "dirty" streams that consist of concatenated MPEG files, with Lame/Info tags occuring all over the place. There were also fixes such as more portable assembly and an SGI output module that actually works.
