[Freeswitch-users] Put a call in music on hold

[Brian West]

This API is not for that.  It actually sends the hold notification to  
the endpoint.  It's not for starting or stopping HOLD music.   You  
could use it as such if you had TWO freeswitch boxes...


CALL -> FS -> FS (uuid_hold would send a hold indication to the first  
FS box causing it to play music on hold)
