* uses the incoming RTP Stream as a timing source for sending its
outgoing Stream..  If the incoming stream is interrupted due to silence
suppression then musiconhold will be choppy.  So in conclusion, you
cannot use sile nce suppresion.
Thanks Andre for the clarification. However, sometimes, one might not be able to disable the silence supression at the remote endpoint.
 
I am thinking of palying the music independently by another thread which uses local timing and checks the channel state (musiconhold or not) during its running. Any comments are welcome. Thanks.
