You can do this with a multiline phone by setting up  an extension like 
this:

  exten => 201,1,SetMusicOnHold(emp)
  exten => 201,2,Answer()
  exten => 201,3,MusicOnHold()
  exten => 201,4,Hangup

Then be sure you have the emp music class setup in musiconhold.conf:

emp => quietmp3nb:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/emp,-z

This works fine. Users use one line to dial in to this and let it run on 
speaker phone.
When a call comes in, it is on another line and can be picked up.
When they hang up, they resume the music line.
