For some reason I have to set the type to 'files' if I set it to 'quietmp3' I get nothing, even though the files are valid MP3 files that play on another asterisk system... does that mean I've got something installed wrong?<br>

</div>If the MOH files have the same codec as the calls, I don't really<br>
think you need to think of this as resource demanding. Normal MOH from<br>
files only opens the files and reads a chunk of data, and if possible<br>
sends it directly to the client. This means that there is no advanced<br>
"player" in use. If your machine have reasonable amount of ram<br>
installed, the files also will automatically be cached in your ram by<br>
your operating system. So it's really just transactions of data chunks<br>
from your ram to a socket. Doesn't really matter if all channels read<br>
from the same place inside the file, or if they start from the<br>
beginning for each channel.<br>
<br>
If you used a single external program to convert for example a web<br>
radio to 8khz audio, then you would get all those calls retrieving<br>
data from the same place. But this would be much more prone to errors,<br>
and more resource demanding than pre-encoded audio files in a<br>
directory like you already do.<br>
