asterisk users - Jan 2007 - musiconhold restarts for every extension

Hello!

I've upgraded from 1.2.9 to 1.2.14 recently but experience an
unexpected behaviour with musiconhold: While in 1.2.9 musiconhold was
playing continuous on sequential extensions after a
timeout, it is restarted for every extension in 1.2.14:

;music starts
exten => 902,1,Dial(SIP/phone1@proxy.com|5|m(mymusic)) 
;music starts again
exten => 902,n,Dial(SIP/phone2@proxy.com|5|m(mymusic))
;and again
exten => 902,n,Dial(SIP/phone3@proxy.com|5|m(mymusic))

In the changelog this is not mentioned, also the bugs related to
changes in musiconhold.c don't seem to have anything to do with my
issue...
Is there a setting i didn't see which changes this behaviour? It is
quite annoying for the caller and unprofessional if he hears the same
moh-file again after some seconds, imho this is not a correct
behaviour...

I recognized that this also happens in 1.4, which i'm currently only
testing.

thx
christian

As I understand it, this is the way Native Music on Hold works.  mpg123 
based MoH does not restart for each call.

The powers that be decided this was better.  Personally, I'd rather it not
restart, but, like most things in life, that is not my decision to make, nor
do I have the talent to change this behavior.
