[Asterisk-Users] MusicOnHold and MP3Player not triggering "answer"

[Josh Roberson]

Strange.. I had a symbolic link, and it wouldn't work.   After I finally got
it working properly, i even tried to remove it from /usr/bin and symlink it,
and it wouldn't work again... couldn't for the life of me figure out why.
