This is well documented in the WIKI.

And, it's not configured from the extensions.conf file. Look for
musiconhold.conf in /etc/asterisk. Genreally one doesn't have to mess
with it but you can do all sorts of neat tricks with it. I have our
office one doing different hold music for different departments so that
they can have their own messages etc played when someone is on hold.

If you want to her your hold music ad a line like this to your
extensions.conf

exten => 9999,1,Musiconhold(default)

Which will play all the hold music until you hangup.

If you want to play the hold music to peeps while your phone is ringing
do this;

exten => 9999,1,Dial(SIP/9999|20|m)

which will play the music for 20 seconds whilst ringing the phone.
