Thanks for the info Matt.
I had the zombie issue too. Based on my observations I decided those
processes were due to safe_asterisk not killing rawplayer (it does mpg123
processes). So I modified safe_asterisk to do that, and zombie processes
were gone.
But you may be right, native players may be better. Kevin should know better
anyway. (However, on my slooow test machine, native mp3 player speeds up and
down sometimes, so I need every processor cycle. Not a recommended
configuration on production systems of course.)

Of course you need to convert all mp3 moh files to raw format manually,
but it's easy as described there.
We were using the rawplayer method on our server, but it ended up spawning
hundreds of zombie processes. I talked to Kevin Fleming about it, and he
recommended switching to native MOH. Scalability is a big concern of
mine, so I asked him about the impact it would have on CPU, memory, and
disk utilization. His response was, "not much, more memory usage though."
I could spare the memory, so I gave it a shot.
So far, I'm very impressed. It eliminated the zombie processes completely
and the quality of the playback is *much* better.
