Do you have a link to the bug report? I was unable to find anything but
it's possible I'm not looking hard enough ;)

Here it is... please excuse the mess, it's been a wild ride so my
formatting/commenting has been left in-tact:

;

; This is using the new 1.2 config file format, and will not work with 1.0
; based Asterisk systems
;
; #include musiconhold_custom.conf
; #include musiconhold_additional.conf

I setup a simple 2 digit extension to call the test context and my MP3
file nor my stream will play, and here's something else interesting: If
use the MP3Player application to play an MP3, mpg123 spawns and plays
it. I came to this conclusion by running ps aux | grep mpg while the
song was playing.
