Debian - alsa sound ?

Interesting is, that alsaplayer produces sound output when playing a mp3
file. But the playing is stuttering extremly.

MPG123 (MPG123-alsa) can't output sound with an error message writing to
the output device.

Audacious crashes with a segmentation fault.

BMPX hangs as soon as i want to select a mp3 file.

Only mplayer plays the mp3's without any problems so i can hear it.

It seems that the sound system and programs are not as stable/useable as
i hoped. :/

Ciao,
