Music on hold audio should be resampled to 8 bits  16 Khz mono and preencoded, 
so audio distortion is minimized in Asgerisk encoding. This theory has worked 
form me on other commercial platforms, but not yet on Asterisk, because MP3s 
cannot be resampled that way. If anyone figures it out, please advice.

I have heard this issue when on hold with Cisco and Vonage... I don't
think it's an asterisk problem I htink it's a G711 "problem"... or gsm
"problem".    Basically they are made for voice, and I think the music
goes outside their encoding ranges... sound logical?
