I think what you are looking for is...
In the extension.conf file where you7 have the extension for the the phone you want to have music on instead of the ringing tone you add an "m" at the Dial line parameter.

Example.
exten => 1111,1,Dial(SIP/1111,20,tTm)

At the end of the line you have "m" as parameter. The "m" is for MusicOn Hold instead of the normal ringin tone.

I hope that is what you was looking for.
