[asterisk-users] Streaming musiconhold via mpg123

[Stephen Brown]

At my wits end with this, and can't proceed any further so I'm hoping 
someone has seen this and can assist. I can not get streaming 
musiconhold to work with Asterisk.

My Asterisk version is 1.8.8.0 and the mpg123 version is 1.9.1, OS is 
CentOS 5.7. When I call the musiconhold class (default for example) I 
get nothing but silence. I've exhausted my troubleshooting capabilities 
at this point, I've tried everything I can think of to include:

- a newer version of mpg123, I went with the latest version
- verified I could play an MP3 file by itself in Asterisk by using the 
MP3Player application

What does not work, is if I use the mpg123 application for musiconhold 
to play a standalone file or a streaming source. I seem to be missing 
something and I just can't quite put a finger on it.
