  I don't you need to.  Just update the musiconhold.conf file to point
to the correct directory.

  As far as the "hard lock" goes, the original problem description
doesn't give much details.  It is well known that mpg123 does like to
exit by itself, and usually needs a "kill -9", and asterisk will sit
around waiting for mpg123 to exit.  If running asterisk with "-cvvvv",
you simply CTRL-C asterisk to force it to quit without waiting for
mpg123.  But definitely not anything I would call a "hard lock".
