[Asterisk-Users] musiconhold will not start

[Andy Reinke]

I assume that the problem with /dev/dsp is your issue - haven't confirmed
but I bet * uses the soundcard for music on hold.

I often see that message when I am logged into an X session - the first
desktop on the console gets the sound.  Be sure to log out and restart *.  

Then reconfigure X desktop applets so you don't load any sound applets or
programs on login.

I have * running on gentoo. Everything seems to be working fine but 
musiconhold will not start.

When starting * I get these errors, but guess that's not the problem:
Oct 12 16:42:12 WARNING[16384]: chan_skinny.c:2584 reload_config: Unable 
to get our IP address, Skinny disabled

Oct 12 16:42:12 WARNING[16384]: chan_oss.c:434 soundcard_init: Unable to 
open /dev/dsp: No such file or directory


When MOH needs to kick in however I get this message:
WARNING[294927]: res_musiconhold.c:366 moh1_exec: Unable to start music on 
hold (class '30') on channel SIP/101-8168

The box has media-sound/mpg123 Latest version installed: 0.59s-r4

I'm not sure why it cannot start the muzak however, the wiki says that a 
symlink must be created to the binary but the binary is already in place 
where the symlink should come.
