mpg123 1.14.1

This one fixes a bug that got uncovered with the (modest) reorganization of the parser code. With the feeder API, it was possible to miss a format change in the (damaged) stream, the more dire outcome being the allocated output buffer being too small (switching from MPEG layer 3 with 576 samples per frame to 1152 samples per frame).
