[Asterisk-Users] Music on Hold on Debian 2.6 help wanted

[Peter Osborne]

I had the same problem on Debian, the mpg123 in Debian is really mpg321 which 
is supposed to be a drop in replacement. Well, I don't think it is, I 
compiled mpg123-0.59r from source and it works now. You may want to give that  
a try.
