In queues.conf you can specify the MOH class on a queue by queue basis, but that's the hold music for someone waiting to be answered. Once an agent answers, if they put someone on hold they'll be put into the default MOH class unless a channel variable is specified beforehand.

Yep. musinonhold.conf has not had the default changed to streaming.
