Comment(by jerkejacobs@…):

 -- Quoting from mpg123 website:
 A test (GNU/Linux OS) with 0.60-beta2 showed 3% to 4% CPU usage on
 decoding high quality VBR MP3 with a pentiumII laptop with 366MHz, while a
 pentium 100MHz can easily handle two mpg123 instances in realtime (plus
 the mixing daemon that works on decoded data).

 Also, we have reports from such devices as nintendo DS or Sony PSP, or
 various embedded systems...

 And it tests according to the ISO MPEG reference set.

 I mainly want to switch because of streams that made crackling playing
 sound with libmad and switched from mpd player to mpg123 player because of
 the libmad output decoder.

 Kind regards,
 Jerry
