Hi!

Have you set "Transmit silence" to YES in X-Lite?

I assume you did load musiconhold in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf, and that 
you configured /etc/asterisk/musiconhold.conf correctly !?

Which version of mpg123 are you using exactly? The recommended version is 
ends with an 'r'.

Finally: What type of mp3 file are you trying to play, is it 128 kbit, 
mono and without VBR (variable bit rate) and without any ID3 tags?
