I have made a patch that uses sox instead of mpg123 to playback music on hold. Sox, when compiled correctly will support mpg, ogg, wav, gsm and numerous other formats. Attached is a diff file that will make change asterisk's behavior to use sox via the perl wrapper I made.
To use this patch, you require sox. If you want to be able to play mp3's you will have to use a newer version than that distributed with redhat (12.17.4+), as well as -- you can download the versions I compiled at: http://www.bingner.com/asterisk/sox-12.17.4-1.i686.rpm http://www.bingner.com/asterisk/lame-3.93.1-1.i686.rpm And the following I installed, but didn't need to compile myself: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/libmad/libmad-0.14.2b-2.dag.rh90.i386.rpm If you install all 3 of those I know you can play MP3 files. Additionally, the wrapper watches for asterisk, and if it no longer sees asterisk running it will die. This simplifies life for asterisk. Mark, if you think this patch is stable feel free to apply it... You have my waiver already. Sam
