[Asterisk-Users] MusicOnHold() - how to restart player from the beginning on each call? (fwd)

[Matthew Marlowe]

What Manfred wants to do is not that uncommon.  I've used the method
that William has suggested in the past.  On a lot of corporate phone
systems this is a simple option in the programming.  Another way is to
simply advertise your specials over your music on hold and repeat
them... Hoping that the person hears the special.. The only reason
they wouldn't is if the customer was on hold for too small of an
amount of time, which the customer will appreciate more. :)
