asterisk users - Oct 2014 - Setting channel musicclass from AGI

Hi,
Since SetMusicOnHold() is being deprecated, how do we set the channel
musicclass from an AGI script?
Last time I checked you can't call dialplan functions from AGI.

Thanks.

Actually, you can. Any time you can evaluate or set a channel
variable, you can also evaluate or set a dialplan function. Hence, you
can use both 'get variable' [1] or 'set variable' [2]. You could
also
use 'exec' and call the Set dialplan application directly.
