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.

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.
