asterisk users - Sep 2004 - app_valetparking / parking in general

Does anyone have Music-On-Hold and valet parking, or regular parking 
working together?  No matter how I configure it, I cannot get moh to 
continue to play after I park a call using either valet parking or 
regular parking.  The only thing I can think of is that I might need to 
use # transfer instead of sip native transfer?

Shouldn't this just work?  If needed I can post the config for one of 
the 50 or so different ways I've tried to make this work so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Sounds like your MOH is not working in general. It works for me in both
Asterisk native # transfer and SIP Native REFER transfer... As soon as the
transfer begins, MOH should start on the channel (indicated in the console
if your verbosity is high enough).

Can you provide a console output? A debug output?

I've experienced this problem, too.  I've gotten MOH to work with
parking two ways.  One, using # transfer inside asterisk.  Two, using
a true SIP blind transfer.  A SIP consultative transfer (such as the
one my Polycom IP 500 does) causes the problem you describe.

I eventually enabled the # asterisk transfer to take the client out of
it all together.

Yes,

[internal-services]
exten => 555,1,Answer
exten => 555,2,MusicOnHold

I use this in my production system to allow users to listen to hold 
music while on break.

Thanks,
