Play online Radio Station as a Music on Hold in Asterisk – CentOS

Is there a way (Tool or any idea) to play radio station (Streamed via IceCast) as a Music On Hold in Asterisk?, I Have a streaming server and Asterisk Server running and working independently very well, only I want to integrate both of two.

Your Help Please, THANKS IN ADVANCE

My OS: Linux – Centos

My Music On Hold Class:

mode=custom

application=/usr/bin/sox mystreamingurl -b 64000 -r 44100 -t ogg –

This script produces upnormal and noisy sound which is totally different from the sound produced by the Streaming Server(IceCas).

    Asterisk’s internal sound format is 8khz mono PCM

    You should directly specify for sox which output format to use for in and out.

    Also sox is NOT streaming utility, you should use something like MPlayer.

    #!/bin/bash

if -n "`ls /tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe.*`" ; then
rm /tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe.*
fi

PIPE="/tmp/asterisk-moh-pipe.$$"
mknod $PIPE p

mplayer http://address_of_radio_station -really-quiet -quiet -ao pcm:file=$PIPE -af resample=8000,channels=1,format=mulaw 2>/dev/null | cat $PIPE 2>/dev/null
rm $PIPE
