	MPG123 worked first time (after I set the sample rate (mpg123 -m
-r 8000 foo.mp3)

	And no, I'm not using a handset, I have a little DEC cable widget
that plugs into the handset jack and has two mini phone jacks. I just
plugged an amplified PC speaker into that. It would be trivial to make
that adapter if you cant find the DEC one.
