<div>Asterisk 1.2.7.1 running on an old Dell Optiplex Pentium 220 MgHz, 64MB of RAM with FreeBSD-6.1-RELEASE</div> <div> </div> <div>I only recently discovered Asterisk and was indeed happy to find that I would not have to build a Linux server to run it and could keep hacking along happily with my FreeBSD servers. I've gone through the install and have made a simple setup with an X-Lite phone from a WinXP machine on the LAN. That's cool and of course I am loaded with questions on how to get more out of this thing. But I'll start with a few that seem to be related to FreeBSD first.</div> <div> </div> <div>There seems to be some kind of issue with the mpg123 player. When I start Asterisk there are some warning messages about it. And what seems to be worse is that the mpg123 processes do not stop nor can I kill them once I exit Asterisk. Is this a real issue or should I just ignore it. The music-on-hold seems to work but there are times when it is choppy. I
found a work around for this using rawplayer and I'm just getting it compiled right now, but I'd really prefer to use mpg123 as I don't want to have to convert MP3 files before using them with rawplayer.</div> <div> </div> <div>Any advice on this as well as any other tips, tricks for running Asterisk on FreeBSD will be welcomed.</div><p>
