Did you build mpg123 yourself? It looks like you did not have development files present for more than OSS output. For alsa or pulse (and sdl, portaudio, whatnot), you need development files for those audio systems installed.

With the proper dependencies present, the list of tried drivers should be bigger. Also, you'd need to install your build of mpg123 so that libmpg123 finds the output modules (alternatively, there's an environment variable for that).

I am not sure which mpg123 you mean here. The default build with alsa on Ubuntu-like systems should be able to use e.g. the pulse server via compat layer.

Wow. This is a roundabout! Interesting option;-)

Just looks like an incomplete build lacking modules.


Alrighty then,
