The strange thing about this is that when I have X-Lite configured not
to send silence and dial into a queue I hear the queue announcements
(every 60 seconds as I've configured) but no MOH, however when I tell it
to transmit silence I hear both the announcements and MOH !!!
Am I right in thinking that when X-Lite is set not to transmit silence,
I shouldn't even hear the announcements ???
