Thanks for the tips everyone, although it turns out this is not a python 
problem at all. After several tests with mpg123 both direct on the cli, and 
wrapped in an os.system() call, I see it is _always_ returning 0 exit status 
whether I interrupt it or not. I went to the mpg123 website to see if I could 
find a reason for this behavior, and the site tells me the package is 
unmaintained, and has security flaws which will not be fixed.

So I guess I will find a new mp3 decoder...
