[asterisk-users] interrupting MOH

[Brent Davidson]

You could also, conceivably, handle this outside of asterisk by using a 
more complex MOH stream source.  For instance, use a shoutcast client as 
the MOH source, run your own shoutcast server streaming your music and 
have a script set up to periodically interrupt the stream being served 
to the shoutcast server and inject an announcement.  (Keep in mind that 
this is an "off the top of my head" suggestion so I don't have exact 
details for implementation, but I'm sure it can be done.)

Good luck,
Brent
