mpg123 delayed reaction to keyboard

[Миронов Леонид Владимирович]

Hi,

mpg123 reacts to keyboard commands after a ~3 second delay while playing but not when paused i.e. when spacebar is pressed while music is playing it stops after 3 seconds but when spacebar is pressed again it resumes playing instantaneously. No such issue on linux with the same 1.25.10. Changing buffer size (-b) has no effect.

In my environment, the same happens even in Linux.
This looks upstream problem of mpg123.

Ah, this seems to depend on audio output module.
If output module is pulse or alsa, this does not happen,
but DOES happen with oss.

So, please install mpg123-pulse package and start
mpg123 with '-o pulse' option. This should fix the
issue.
