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

Hello,
We achieve this using an AGI script in the VICIDIAL project for our
version of inbound queues. You start MoH then when you stream a sound
to the channel it will stop MoH then after the sound is done you start
MoH back up again. Probably a bit more involved than what you want,
but it dose work well for us.

Sorry for top-posting, but seems everyone on this thread did so.
Also that would be my suggestion for now - call queue with periodic-announce.
However i see that this would make nice architectural improvement -
allow inject sound files into MoH stream. This would be useful for
example in call queues - to inject all the queue announcements into
MoH directly, rather than play them while blocking further queue
actions.
