[Vorbis] Error: buffer write failed.

Hi folks,

Sometimes a line like

	ogg123 -q -d wav -f - /some/file.ogg | lame -b 128 - /some/file.mp3

dies with an error message from ogg123

	Error: buffer write failed.

It is hard to reproduce, but it comes up in appr. 5% of all runs.

Of course there is no problem with disk space. If I use mpg123 to convert a
*.mp3 file to a lower bitrate using a similar command line, then there is
no such problem. Using mplayer instead of ogg123 works better, too.


Can anybody reproduce this?


Regards

Harri
