May be I'm missing something here; there seems to be two different
approaches to MusicOnHold.  The first is simply any station pressing the
hold button and the holding party hearing music. That seems to be rather
automatic and relies on a single musiconhold.conf statement.

The second approach is streaming music to a station on a rather constant
basis, and that requires a couple of extra * steps.

Which is that you that you're looking to accomplish?
