[Asterisk-Users] Does * machine need a sound board for MOH?

[Rich Adamson]

John,

As noted in the original post:
 16243 pts/1    S      0:00 /usr/bin/mpg123 -q -s --mono -r 8000 -b 2048 For-You.

So, yes it appears to be running, and the "For-You" is an mp3 that I've listened
to from the linux console (just to verify).

The musiconhold.conf file looks like:
;                              
; Music on hold class definitions                                               
;                                                            
[classes]                       
; default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
default => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
; loud => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3                   
;random => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3,-z  

Each of my test extensions are configured like:
exten => 3002,1,Dial(SIP/3002,20)                            
; exten => 3002,2,SetMusicOnHold,default                    
exten => 3002,2,Voicemail(u3002)                         
exten => 3002,102,Voicemail(b3002)                       
exten => 3002,103,Hangup  

Do I really need to include that SetMusicOnHold line?  It does not seem
to have any impact whether its there or not, but then since I don't have
any music generated, I'm not sure.
