We are running Asterisk on Mac OS X Server as our office PBX. MOH
seems to work just fine out of the box. I believe I had to install
the addons package before it would work. This was somewhat annoying
to work on because I actually had to stop and restart asterisk for
changes in musiconhold.conf to take effect. Anyway, this is what our
musiconhold.conf file looks like:
[default]
mode=files
directory=/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3
random=yes
The real challenge is getting meetme to work. I don't understand why
the timer is such a major obstacle. Under linux, you need to apply a
patch to create a dummy timer for meetme. As far as I know, no one
has created one for Darwin, and probably not for BSD either.
I'm also really interested in getting realtime to work under OS X
using postgres. There's a wiki for it, but no one has anything to
contribute. :(

We're setting up asterisk at the office (really doing some testing
right now) and it is going to be hosted on a dual G5 XServe running
OS X. We're an apple certified solutions provider, etc. so we want
to build all our stuff on apple hardware and software. Anyway, the
last sticking point is moh and meetme. Is there any solution to get
moh and meetme working on OS X? Meetme isn't necessarily a big deal
for us in our setup, but we plan to start selling asterisk
solutions to our customers and they might need/want a conference
solution. Also, something that is somewhat of a big deal (but not a
deal breaker) for us is music on hold. Is there any way to get moh
working without zaptel drivers, or is there another timing source
that asterisk can use that works on OS X? I see alot of people
using OS X for asterisk, but no one mentions moh except that it
doesn't work, and those posts are from over a year ago. So, just
looking for input on moh/meetme, and also any general observations
people have from working with asterisk on OS X.
thanks,
