Many thanks. How did I miss that, it's in the web docs for 
MPG123_NEW_FORMAT. Now it ploughs through the rough terrain without 
stopping and, mapping the mono blip to stereo, makes a slightly 
different burp. It has also fixed two other MP3 files that died half way 
through, so it's not a lone case.

I can only suggest that in the "Returns" section for mpg123_read() to 
list MPG123_NEW_FORMAT as a possible return value with a link to its 
description, if that's possible. It's not important (the info is there 
if you look in the right place) but it might help anyone as stupid as me 
to find it instead of making noise here. :)

Seriously though, thanks again. mpg123 rocks.
