asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Howto get streaming mp3 at an extension?

I would simply like to dial an extension and get an individual Live MP3
stream but am unsure of how to do this.

I'd like it to be different from my music on hold (not the same source)

This trick works for music on hold:
in musiconhold.conf

;default => mp3:/var/lib/asterisk/live,http://sourceofstream.com:8001/

I still wish to use local files for music on hold but want to dial an
extension to listen to a live stream.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Steve

Easy!!

Add another line to your musiconhold.conf file like this

stream => /var/lib/asterisk/stream,http://sourcepfstream.com:8001/

Then add an externsion number to extensions.conf that uses the stream 
variable to play the hold music.

There's quite a bit about this in the wiki.
