I think you should "slower your pace". I.e. being in your shoes I would
first try to verify that mpg123 _decoder_ works, leaving ALSA out of the
picture for a time being.

To do the verification I would try to convert MP3 file into WAV file, then
I would try to check how the WAV files plays/sounds - the latter maybe (also
in a different computer.

If/when it's verified the decoding part work, then the ALSA issues can be
dealt with.
