[asterisk-users] Asteisk plays music on hold starting from randompoint

[Giorgio Incantalupo]

Hi Robert,
cpu is no problem..but if you say the sound is cleaner..well I can try 
Format_MP3...the problem is I do not know how to install it. I read it 
is inside asterisk-addons (there is a directory named format_mp3 inside) 
and I always install asterisk-addons on PBXs but...how can I invoke this 
command?? Is it automatic??


TIA
