mpg123

Why does Asterisk compile with mpg123? Or does it use the libraries?
I am asking, is because mpg123 has security holes and bugs.
mpg123.de/ Main page says there are security holes and such.

Asterisk is not dependant on mpg123 to compile. Mainly, Asterisk uses mpg123 for mp3 music on hold. You can see this link for more information: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+musiconhold.conf
