Summary:                    Asterisk MOH playing old audio for first 30 to 60
seconds
Description: 
Calling all members of the asterisk community,

I am posting about an old issue that has been reported many places and
times online, To my amazement, there has yet to be anyone that has reported
any solutions to the following problem.

"Initially when putting callers on hold, it plays between 30 and 60
seconds of old audio that was on the stream in the past. Then after
that 30-60 seconds, it does a hard cut into what is currently playing
(which sounds pretty bad)."

I think it would be a great service and big help to all of the asterisk
community, if you can please contribute your expertise on helping find a
solution to this problem. This issue likely effects millions of asterisk
users worldwide without a solution!

Good Luck and Thanks very much in advance for your kind help and
contribution!!

Per Ollys response to 0000143, I am closing this issue as well. IMHO, it is
the responsibility of the stream server to seek/play the stream
continuously, even if the stream is idle, if that is how the server is
designed; Asterisk is just a client. There is a version of mpg123 which is
capable of this, see Russell's response to the OP in the last link that you
posted. With that said, I am a community bug marshal, not as
Asterisk/Digium developer, if you would really like to see this
implemented, I would highly recommend that you take up with an Asterisk
developer on #asterisk-dev.
