Those instructions are for Asterisk 1.2 . 

In 1.0.x the MoH player will look for *.mp3 files. Xorcom Rapid has a
makefile that convers mp3 files to wav files with the extension .wav.mp3 .
Quite similar o the examples in the abover case, only a different output
file name.

Then you need to follow the sample musiconhold.conf file and define a
"custom" method with a script that will play those wav files to the
standard output.

If the out format was signed linear rather than wav, you could basically
use cat .
