UPDATE/SOLVED: it was not related to the music player, after all.
I had presumed that `libmpg123` error meant it was related to my `mpg123` background music player, but it seems that's may be not the case.
It only happen on "random video" screensaver mode, I am unable to reproduce on either "dim" or "slideshow" screensaver modes.
...and, it happens now even with the music disabled. Now `mpg123` is still installed on my RPi4 but when disabled it is never brought up during `autostart.sh` so now is just ES(-dev), and my video files (mostly which come from ScreenScraper).
Looks `libmpg123` [is also used by](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/1554) the `vlc` (which I do use on ES, as I have "use OMX player for screensaver" set to "off.")

Seems it is caused by (one or more) particular video files. I (backed up and) deleted half my gamelists (so their videos won't be played), and the error still occurred. Then I restored my backups, and deleted the *other* half the gamelists -- this time no error! I have narrowed it down further to a single game in my SNES playlist -- confirmed by removing all other entries so only that one plays when triggering screensaver, and then the error happens right away.
I tracked it down to a single bad video from screenscraper. Whenever the **Pop'n TwinBee (SNES)** video is played, the `Illegal Audio-MPEG-Header` error is displayed in console, in multiple, when exit EmulationStation.
This is accompanied by a visual glitch in the video playback (or freeze, depending on player) at about 0:16 seconds in, just past the halfway-mark.
I tagged the video in a comment on `screenscraper.fr` asking to re- generate their standardized video. A short time later, that request was granted and, after re-scraping that one game, the error is now resolved!
