Mostly for my future reference, here are the steps to configure streaming Soma FM to your holding callers.

mkdir /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/stream
touch /var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/stream/stream.mp3
su asterisk
vi /etc/asterisk/musiconhold_additional.conf


Comment everything and add the following to the bottom :

[default]
mode=custom
directory=/var/lib/asterisk/mohmp3/stream
application=/usr/bin/mpg123 -q -s –mono -r 8000 -f 8192 -b 0 http://160.79.128.242:8004/

If you are using stock mpg123 in later Trixbox releases you should be fine, if you had to compile mpg123 - do not forget to modify the above path from /usr/bin/mpg123 to wherever it drops the binary (usually /usr/local/bin/mpg123).

Have fun!
