I was wondering, does anyone know if it is possible to have a stream of audio coming from a Microsoft compressed audio stream fed to the caller if they are placed on hold and if so how might this be done?
Write a shell script called mpg123, located in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin that spits audio out on it's STDOUT in the correct format. I think the format is 8khz, mono, 16-bit. You can set up music on hold with mpg123 the just do a px -axwww to see what parameters Asterisk uses to start mog123, read the mpg123 man page and then make your script output the audio in the same format. Or you can just look at the Asterisk source code for the options.
It's not hard to write the script. It's hard to make the script do the right thing when you have network problems and get disconnected from your streaming source.
