[Asterisk-Users] MOH sourced from a sound card?

[Peter Fern]

You don't capture the audio - you set sox to send output to stdout, and 
use it as the custom command in musiconhold.conf, so it works like a 
pipe into asterisk.  If you read the voip-wiki page I listed it should 
make sense.  And with sox you could use either alsa or ossdsp depending 
on support in your kernel.
