[Asterisk-Users] Music on Hold Quality

[Matt]

I have heard this issue when on hold with Cisco and Vonage... I don't
think it's an asterisk problem I htink it's a G711 "problem"... or gsm
"problem".    Basically they are made for voice, and I think the music
goes outside their encoding ranges... sound logical?
