[Asterisk-Users] MusicOnHold not working

[Jason Lixfeld]

Running Asterisk 1.2.1 on Suse 10.0 X86-64.

Tried to get mpg123 0.59r which came with the 1.2.1 dist running on  
this box, but all I get is poop:

as   -o decode_i586.o decode_i586.s

None of my research revealed any answers so I started looking at  
mpg123 alternatives.  At the top of "http://www.voip-info.org/tiki- 
pagehistory.php?page=Asterisk+mpg123+faking+it&diff2=3" there is a  
note that says how 1.2 has solved the MPG123 issue.  What does that  
mean exactly?  What has 1.2 solved WRT mpg123, and how has it solved  
it?  I couldn't find the answer so I kept digging and came across a  
reference for format_mp3.  I compiled and installed format_mp3 from  
1.2.1-addons and modified my musiconhold.conf as per the link, and  
ensured the module was loaded by asterisk:

[default]
mode=files
directory=/var/lib/asterisk/moh-native
random=yes

asterisk*CLI> show modules like format_mp3
Module                          
Description                              Use Count
format_mp3.so                  MP3 format [Any rate but 8000hz mono  
opt 0
1 modules loaded
asterisk*CLI>

I copied the default musiconhold mp3 files from mohmp3 to moh-native  
so I had something to play.  When I call in, dial up the MoH test  
extension, I see musiconhold being called, but it's stopped  
immediately after it's started.  Logs show nothing so I'm kinda lost.

asterisk*CLI>
     -- Executing Answer("SIP/7501-4dd0", "") in new stack
     -- Executing MusicOnHold("SIP/7501-4dd0", "") in new stack
     -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on channel 'SIP/ 
7501-4dd0'
     -- Stopped music on hold on SIP/7501-4dd0
asterisk*CLI>

Anyone have any ideas?
