[asterisk-users] MoH with message on intervals

[Adam Moffett]

Looks like it would be pretty darn easy if I was using a queue.  I could 
just use the periodic announcement and fiddle with specified sound files.

Sadly, I'm calling the phones with SLATrunk.  The hold music will only 
be heard by the caller when the user pushes the hold button on their 
phone.  I can definitely break up the hold music into segments and 
playing the directory with sort=alpha.  I guess it won't be that hard, I 
was just hoping there was a built in option that I hadn't noticed :)
