asterisk users - Jul 2003 - Music on hold & Read error on sound device

I am having a problem getting music on hold working one of my servers. I
have had this working on a PII 400 just fine but decided to upgrade my
Asterisk server to a PIV 1.5ghz.
 
I have installed mpg123 which seems to be working fine but when I start
*, I get the following error message at the CLI prompt when I start *:
 
WARNING[81931]: File chan_oss.c, Line 232 (sound_thread): Read error on
sound device: Resource temporarily unavailable
 
I have checked that the sound card works by loading X11 and running
sound tests which is fine. I have used "lsof /dev/dsp" to see if
another
application or server is controlling the sound device and without *
running, nothing is reported. With * running lsof reports that * has the
device. Voicemail works fine.
 
When I put a call on hold the CLI shows moh starting but nothing is
played. No errors are reported whilst starting moh.
 
I have been trying lots of different things for hours now without
success.
 
Anyone got any pointers ?
 
Rgds,
 
Stuart

What does your musiconhold.conf file look like?

You didn't mention the distro you are using. I'm wondering if you are
using one of the distros that leans towards the alsa drivers. If so,
then chan_oss would have problems.

My musiconhold.conf is as below:

;
; Music on hold class definitions
;
[classes]
default => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
loud => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
random => quietmp3:/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3,-z

This has been copied from the working system as has the mp3 file into
/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3. The mp3 file also has the same permissions as
the working system.
