[asterisk-dev] Creating a MoH source

[Paulo Garcia]

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

Thinking in a local system, is it possible to send the samples directly to
Asterisk, without a server and setting a custom application in
musiconhold.conf, without changing Asterisk code?

Any idea?

Thanks again!

Paulo
