mp3

["George A. Dowding" <dowdingg@math.uaa.alaska.edu>]

This is something that has been bugging me for some time.  Sometime
after upgrading to woody, I lost the ability to play mp3's.  Well they
play but come through garbled.  Gnome is able to make proper sounds,
so I believe that the hardware is configured correctly.  Any areas to
investigate would be appreciated.

Here is some output from mpg123.  I don't know if that helps or not.
It goes on and on about not being able to rewind.
