[Asterisk-Users] mpg123 or asterisk

[Erick Perez]

Well, being unable to compile mpg123 under x86_64 i installed lame and
transformed the mp3-->wav-->raw.
and using "files" as the format player.

Are there any good scripts to stress test MoH?
I want to test this machine for 1000 "calls" on hold.

AsterTest is good but i dont have access to another * installation.
