Thanks for the tip, but after moving the MOH files to the right
location, and even restarting Asterisk, it still doesn't find them,
with the same error message:

# ll /var/lib/asterisk/moh/

I tried using MusicOnHold() but it doesn't take a parameter, and just
plays some other tune:
=================
;exten => 8888,n,Playback(manolo_camp-morning_coffee)
exten => 8888,n,MusicOnHold(manolo_camp-morning_coffee)
=================

Actually, how can Asterisk know that a file is MOH and hence, should
be found in /var/lib/asterisk/moh/, rather than a regular prompt/sound
file located in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds?

Thank you.
