notice the "-b 0″ instead of "-b 2048″

rates other than 8192 don’t seem to work (i was trying to up the bandwidth for my g.722 phones), and a little more volume (increase the -f 8192 value) is nice for listening to the radio on the phone, instead of strictly MOH service. Otherwise you have to turn up the phone volume to listen to the radio, then back down for calls.

Thanks for the nice article!

Like SHOUTcast, we have streams of music, but ours is licensed for use on phone systems End users do pay a fee, but it’s the legal way to do it. We also do custom productions. Seeking Asterisk developers to blog about this. – Contact Nerd Vittles for my contact info, as I do not wish to sp@m.
