Anyone have Windows Media streaming for MOH working? I followed the various procedures on the Asterisk Wiki for using mplayer which seems to be the only Linux player capable of playing windows media streaming audio (asf, wmv etc.). Anyone get this working? I can get shoutcast streams working using mpg123 but so far no luck with windows media streaming. Is there another player out there or a trick of some sort? I've been googling but so far no luck. The problem is that many radio stations including the local ones people in my area use for MOH on their traditional PBX's use windows media streaming. As a work around I would consider streaming it from a softphone on a Windows PC to a conference room if I had to. That may be easier to do but haven't found much info on that either. Worst case I would consider a receiver on Line In on a softphone on a Windows PC or absolute worst case, from line in audio on the Asterisk server. Streaming local radio directly on the Asterisk server is the most elegant solution IMHO. Any help would be appreciated.
