asterisk users - Sep 2005 - MOH failures (bad quality with interruptions)

Hi ! :)

Does someone have an idea of the reason why my MusicOnHold (with clean
mp3 downloaded from http://aussievoip.com.au/wiki-MOH) is always
having interruptions and micro-cuts ?

No high load of the system, no swap, no hard disk r/w, mpg123 seems
running well... nothing !
Except a little message at startup :

"Warning, flexibel rate not heavily tested!"

I'm getting crazzzzzyyyy... :-|

Cheers,

YLB.

Well, I answer myself (in case someone had the same pb one day... ;).

I didn't find the exact reason of the matter... only that the error
message (relative to "flexibel rate"...) is not from Asterisk, but
from mpg123.

Anyway, I found the solution to solve the micro-cuts and interruptions
of my MusicOnHold : simply apply the hack described at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+mpg123+faking+it

I used Option 1 and converted wav files to raw files using sox. My MOH
is now running perfectly ;))

Yeeppeeeeee...

Cheers,

YLB.
