Having two versions of mpg123 wouldn't hurt, it's an orthogonal issue.

Why I built mpg321?  It was written because mpg123 wasn't Free.
mpg321 is still useful to keep up the competition and make sure that
mpg123 doesn't become closed again; you can think of it as a
redundancy that removes a single point of failure.

I've added alternatives support for the $(bindir)/mpg123 path.  The
alternatives system won't overwrite the existing mpg123 binary, but
when mpg123 starts using alternatives too, mpg321 will be able to
place the $(bindir)/mpg123 symlink.
