Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2008-01-07 20:30:58 MSK 
mpg321-0.2.10.2-alt1.1

It would be nice to have a possibility to remove mpg123 from a system and use
mpg321 as a replacement (as was the intention of the creators of mpg321). 

But now the the packages in Sisyphus are not ready for this, they have a strict
dependency on mpg123 and are not packaged to be able to use mpg321 as a replacement:
Steps to Reproduce:
# apt-get remove mpg123
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  cinelerra dvdrip gqmpeg k3b kino kino-dvdauthor mjpegtools mpg123
mplayer-tools normalize ogmtools qdvdauthor worker
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 13 removed and 1124 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 71.7MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
Abort.

Hm, I remember mpg321 wasn't ready for this prime time yet, no?

Well, at least it is packaged so as to work with ALSA. This is not the case with
mpg123 (https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13923 ), so if the
installation of mpg321 was possible, it would solve some problems.

Just like mpg123 by now, thanks swi@.

It is possible:
$ rpm -q mpg123 mpg321
mpg123-1.13.4-alt1
mpg321-0.2.11-alt1
