Having three such processes seems fine. That's what I'm seeing here as
well, and I don't have any problems.

music    24421  1.2  1.0  9724 2624 tty6     S+   10:40   0:02 ogg123
music    24422  0.0  1.0  9724 2624 tty6     S+   10:40   0:00 ogg123
music    24423  0.0  1.0  9724 2624 tty6     S+   10:40   0:00 ogg123

Sometimes an ogg file is mentioned after ogg123 in this overview and
sometimes not. That probably depends on how I'm running the process
and it should not be an important point.

Just for the sake of it, check if some friend pulled a practical joke
by installing an alias for ogg123. :) Something is wrong if `alias
ogg123' gives you something like this:

ogg123 -K 1
ogg123 --end 1

This plays just the first second and then goes to the next song. At
least when I use this, I also have trouble with Ctrl-C/Z. It's the
only reason I can come up with.
