This is odd-looking. $ apt-file search output_alsa.la mpg123: /usr/lib/mpg123/output_alsa.la
Wow, yup. If someone has the time to investigate, I'm quite sure the file to look at is mpg123-1.4.3/libltdl/ltdl.c. The lib defines the heuristics to find and load the modules; should lead to some understanding. It's quite old code from libtool. Maybe that[1] will be more helpful.
'Hope I got that right.In the meantime, a very ugly hack that could probably work would be to create a link to /usr/lib/mpg132/output_alsa.la from /lib/output_alsa.la.
