Actually I got it working. I had mpg123 aliased to
which mpg123
alias mpg123='mpg123 -o alsa -a plug:front:2'
/usr/bin/mpg123
This is from when I was trying to use it with alsa, but seemed that the
device kept changing because sometimes it would work with plug:front:2
other times with plug:front:0. That's why I decided to get it to work with
pulseaudio.
Once I ran the unaliased /usr/bin/mpg123, it played fine with libao-pulse.
This pulseaudio thing might not be all that bad afterall.
