[Asterisk-Users] Useful patch in the bugtracker: streaming MOH

[John Todd]

So, Tilghman has put a particularly useful patch in the bugtracker: 
streaming music-on-hold is now supported.  You can now specify .mp3 
streams to be played back as MOH in the various places where MOH is 
used.  Hopefully, Mark will install into the main CVS tree shortly.

This allows you to use the very sophisticated mp3 streaming audio 
tools that exist for broadcast (Open Source as well as commercial) to 
build your own mini-stations, complete with advertisements, annoying 
product placements, and insipid corporate banter while you have 
people trapped in a hold queue, helpless and unable to do anything 
but listen to the drivel that you wish to push into their ears.

Viva Asterisk!
