asterisk users - Jan 2013 - Playing music through VoIP handsets while on hook

This is something I've seen with some key systems and PBXs.  When the
phones are on-hook, they can play music throughout the office instead of
having an overhead speaker system do it.  Never heard of it being done with
VoIP, but figured I'd ask if anyone else has.  I don't see any way to do
this on any phones I've looked at.

I've seen this implemented on polycom phones where a secondary extension is
on the phone that is setup to auto answer and they have something on the
PBX side that is configured to call some or all of the secondary extensions
