[Asterisk-Users] can't get musiconhold to work

[firedude at shorelinuxsolutions.com]

So you mean a just simple blank line at the end of the musiconhold.conf 
file or the extensions.conf file?  
Second question, though it might seem a bit stupid, do I perhaps need a 
sound card on the box that asterisk is running on?  I don't think this 
should be the case but I'm just wondering.
Is there anything I can do to manually make it run with asterisk?  I guess 
what I'm trying to say here is in ps aux I see no example of mpg123 
running that tells me it has not been executed.  What is the process that 
asterisk uses to execute it?  Is it executed each time a caller is put on 
hold or are instances started in the background when asterisk begins 
(listen state)?
