RE: [asterisk-users] No music on hold?

I had this same problem.  I also read that mpg123 was not required, but it actually is if you wish to use mp3 files.  I just decided to go with RAW files because I had problems converting some mp3's to the appropriate bit rate.

Subject: [asterisk-users] No music on hold?


Hi all,
 
I've got Asterisk 1.2.10 up and running on Debian using the back ports.  I noticed that it didn't come with mpg123 or depend on it and I believe I read somewhere that asterisk now handles it's own mp3 playback?  Is this true?  If so I must have a problem, because I hear no music when putting someone on hold.  When looking at the console when putting someone on hold, I see the following:
 
    -- Started music on hold, class 'default', on channel 'IAX2/voicepulse01-3'
    -- Stopped music on hold on IAX2/voicepulse01-3
 
It says music starts and then it instantly stops.  Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
Phil
