[Asterisk-Users] MOH: Most Efficient Method

[Matt Roth]

List Members,

What is the most efficient method of providing music on hold?  We are 
currently using the rawplayer method documented here:

- Rawplayer MOH

I am also aware of the following alternatives:

- Native MOH
  - http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+musiconhold.conf

- Asterisk with MOH Patch

- Using Slimserver for MOH

- Shoutcast MOH

- Sound Card Line-In as MOH Source

Please keep in mind that I'm interested in the *least* 
resource-intensive method, specifically CPU usage.  If there is a method 
that I haven't mentioned, I'd appreciate information on it.

Thank you,
