This reminds me of a question discussed a few months ago. I enquired as 
to the possibility of:

SetMusicOnHoldFile(/arbitrary/path/on/filesystem)

Where the file specified would be in a native format. Asterisk would 
then play the file in a similar manner to Playback(). The file specified 
would not be in musiconhold.conf (which would be used at all), but 
rather set by our FastAGI to use a file on an NFS mount.

This would allow customers on an Enswitch system to upload their own 
.wav files for MOH on the web interface and have it used on all 
Asterisks in a cluster without needing to update every musiconhold.conf 
(which for a system with thousands of customers each wanting their own 
files is not really option).

Will the new code provide this functionality?
