Hi, I am trying to figure out how to install the mpg123 libraries so that they work with your python package. I saw that you are using "find_libraries" to find mpg123, but I am looking for more details on what that actually does.

I would love to be able to specify the location of my mpg123 installation... For example, on Windows I have a single static mpg123.exe file. I'd prefer not to add it to the path, but rather point your program to this exe. Any tips to point me in the right direction?

My end goal is to play mp3 files (chunk by chunk) cross-platform with as few dependencies as possible. Cheers.

This simple code here

from mpg123 import Mpg123, Out123

# load an mp3 file
mp3 = Mpg123('D:/mpg123/test.mp3', library_path = 'D:/mpg123/libmpg123-0.dll')

# use libout123 to access the sound device
out = Out123(library_path = 'D:/mpg123/libout123-0.dll')

# decode mp3 frames and send them to the sound device
for frame in mp3.iter_frames(out.start):
    out.play(frame)

Gives this error:

C:\Data\Anaconda3\python.exe "C:/Users/$Username$/IdeaProjects/ESP_1/sound2.py"

[src/libout123/libout123.c:451] error: Found no driver out of [win32,win32_wasapi] working with device <default>.

How to get it working with windows.. I am thinking the drivers in mpg123/plugin are not getting loaded?

Do you know of a way I could do output the following transcode to a new wav.

-r 8000 --8bit -m

Using your wrapper, I would assume its something to do with Out123, I've looked at the mpg123 library API, but nothing really jumps out?
