[Asterisk-Users] Does * machine need a sound board for MOH? (add to FAQ)

[CW_ASN]

Rich:

There are some documents out there, I have pointed one:
http://megaglobal.net/docs/asterisk/html/ Section 7.1 (Common Issues -
MPG123 vs MPG321 on RedHat Linux 7.X+).

Reading this I've helped to you yesterday. ;)

Regards,

Gus
