Kevin - thanks for that link. We're now using native slin for music on hold, but it's a good resource. And thanks for pointing out the Wiki is actually wrong on this. :) > If you're not streaming the MP# from an external source, converting it > off-line will always be cheaper.

It's kind of silly that Asterisk includes mp3 files, and then there isn't a way to play them. (There could be licence reasons for this, or another reason I'm not aware of, but people will assume that MP3's work.) And, there is a certain coolness factor in it "just working", of course. Does format_mp3 only work properly in 1.4 then? I'll dig a bit and correct the wiki, if I can find a definitive answer. (I thought it was working on 1.2, but I've installed a few 1.4 boxes recently for testing, so my recollection could be of a 1.4 install).
