[Asterisk-Users] Music not on hold

[Andy Powell]

Ok, well that's a start,

I don;t know if you NEED to do this next bit but I have MP3Player
working fine, but music on hold wasn't. Have you tried modifying the
makefile in the zaptel directory (if you don't have a zaptel interface)

Change line 82 (ish) 

Near the end of line 82, change # ztdummy to ztdummy 
(ie remove the #) then continue with the compile (make clean
first) ie.

# cd zaptel

modify the Makefile.

# make clean ; make install
# cd ../libpri
# make clean ; make install
# cd ../asterisk
# make clean ; make install

I don;t have a zaptel interface and it fixed my issue with 
music on hold not working. (apparently is helps by providing
some fake timing required)

HTH

Andy
