Woody (and I think I saw the package when I was using potato) has a package
called mpg123-esd.

Did you get the tarball from the mpg123 site, or did you get it from Debian?
Getting it from Debian is probably the best. Make sure your sources.list has a
correct deb-src line (mine has "deb-src http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian woody
main contrib non-free"), and do "apt-get source mpg123" (you can do this as a
regular user). It will download the relevant source files, and unpack into a
subdirectory of the current directory. You can even download the Woody source
to install on your Potato system. Install the debhelper package too. Then, cd
into the source directory, and run "fakeroot debian/rules binary" It will
create a bunch of deb files in the parent directory of the source directory.
Then use dpkg to install them. If you want to change anything, edit the
debian/rules file (it's a makefile made executable).
I've never compiled mpg123, but compiling other source packages has worked fine
for me.
