[Asterisk-bsd] Music On Hold, working with FreeBSD 5.3

[Kiel R Stirling]

I have cvsup'd to 5.4-STABLE and have installed the latest src from the 
listed site and I have recompiled my kernel with the required option. Now 
when I load the dummy asterisk fails to load. It fails at different point 
each time so asterisk-cvvvvvv is no help.

Any idea's ??
