Folks, I have somewhat of a serious issue here.  My music on hold 
mysteriously stopped working.  I have made no changes to my Asterisk box 
in the past month and up until an hour ago, MoH was working fine (as far 
as I know).

CLI:
-- Started music on hold, class 'default', on channel 'IAX2/lobby-2'
-- Stopped music on hold on IAX2/lobby-2
voip*CLI> moh reload
voip*CLI>
1 class reloaded.

musiconhold.conf:
-----------------
[default]
mode => quietmp3
directory => /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
random => yes


I have had .gsm (and only .gsm) files in that directory since day one, 
and it's always played them just fine.  The .gsm files are still in that 
directory, and transferring them to my computer and playing them works 
just fine.

I have autoload set in modules.conf, and I can't figure out why my music 
on hold suddenly stopped working.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Jay
