Been using mpg123 for moh for the last two years or so. However, when I have * config errors, often times get a endless stream of console messages and need to kill the two mpg123 processes. Is there an alternative to mpg123 that eliminates that issue? I see references in musiconhold.conf relative to madplay, native file format, asterisk-addons, etc. Not sure why the asterisk-addon approach

Hullo :) I'm using CVS-04/23/04-23 from the stable 1.0 branch on kernel 2.6 - since I have no Digium h/w, I've just managed to get the zaprtc module to compile and run, so I thought the best way to test it would be via MoH. The MP3Player application works great .. exten => 6901,1,Answer exten => 6901,2,MP3Player(http://127.0.0.1:85/ES/28) This will play callers BBC Radio 4 from

Hey all, I have read on voip-info.org that to configure MoH asterisk requires the use of mpg123. I have installed mpg123 and restarted asterisk. But, when i put a call on hold i get this error: May 25 14:13:03 WARNING[1872]: res_musiconhold.c:865 local_ast_moh_start: No class: default Can you help, Thanks yusuf

When I start * I get 6 mpg123 processes start as well. Is this normal? Often after a couple of days these mpg123 processes start to consume cpu and I have to kill them off. I do not have a sound card in the server and I have noload => chan_oss.so Simon

I have a remote installation that connects via IAX from my office pbx. When I call an extension on the remote pbx, after the dial period, the call is terminated. Nothing I do in configuration of that extension seems to matter: -- Executing NoOp("IAX2/netconcepts@nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:4569-5", ""Dial 710"") in new stack -- Executing

Hi there, After scratching my head for days on why there is horrible white noise in musiconhold, I finally found out that the latest emerge version of mpg123: 0.59s-r2 is not working well with asterisk. However, if you get the latest source from mpg123.de mpg123-pre0.59s.tar.gz. Then it works wonderfully. Just a heads up for the Gentoo admin David

Hello list, after the last time that mpg123 wen ballistic on our production system, we decided to skip mp3 playback altogether and to go for raw files. After half an hour playing with mpg123 and sox parameters in order to translate a mp3 file to a wav file that can be streamed back through * with no need for an mp3 decoder, I thought I'd post the result to the list to avoid wasting

Is it true that asterisk 1.2.6 does not use mpg123? I just installed asterisk 1.2.6 and while I do have music on hold (through format_mp3?) I do not have an mpg123 process running. I seem to be having serious audio issues when going through one of my providers (and just through that provider) when using mp3 for hold music, however when using wav files it is fine. The processor is only at about

Is there any reason why there should ever be more than 1 instance of mpg123 running on a * server? I just did an 'uptime' and noticed all 3 of my loads where over 3.00. 'top' showed 8 mpg123 processes all processing the same 3 songs (our background music). I tried to kill one of them but another one spawned in its place. Any ideas? Thanks, Matthew

Hi, KMail crashed because I saved too many asterisk-users messages ... now I have to ask directly, instead of searching in my private archive :) Here's the problem: I'm using MusicOnHold, running mpg123, but I notice that the processes don't die even after the user hangs up. They just sort of "freeze" and stop consuming cpu (I hope). Is there a way (within asterisk)

We have a billing system that depends on the CDRs. We had a guest that made a one minute call to a local cellphone, this call went out Zap channel through our channel bank. The CDR recorded a 200 minute call, but I checked with the Telco's records and it had terminated after one minute.
