You might be better off with something like streaming MP3 over http or something else like that if you're looking for something with no code modifications. Hm, I was ideally looking for something with no code modifications; e.g. a phantom channel which simply played music to itself, setup when Asterisk starts, or even with manual intervention (e.g. I dial a number, and rawplayer starts up). Are you really resetting Asterisk that much that this becomes a problem? If so, why? My Asterisk install is mainly used for inter-office communications, allowing the Spanish branch to use the UK landline, and testing/experimentation. As such, I frequently do things which require a full restart, or I get it tangled up to the point where it needs a restart. The hold music rarely plays, but because rawplayer always picks the files in the same order, it's almost always track 1 that's playing when I *do* put someone on hold, or whatever; I'd prefer it to be a random start point.

Any ideas? Asterisk is v1.4.18.1, running on Ubuntu 2.6.20-15.27-server. I'm still stuck with this, and would appreciate any thoughts... Thanks in advance!
