I have adopted all the changes you suggested.

my exec-path is
("~/bin" "/usr/bin" "/bin" "/usr/sbin" "/sbin" "/usr/local/bin"
"/usr/X11/bin" "/usr/local/os/bin" "/usr/local/os/sbin"
"/usr/local/texlive/2008basic/bin/universal-darwin" 
"/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin")

and in terminal, which mpg123 returns: /usr/local/os/bin/mpg123

And still it is not working.
