MOH streaming for wideband g722/slin16

Any ideas how to stream 16 kHz audio from shoutcast ? I tried mpg123 -r 16000 with type slin16 but the results were terrible.
I would like to use the full potential of my g722 phone.

The problem is 8kHz is hardcoded in res_musiconhold. Here is a little patch:

                continue;
        /* Read mp3 audio */
-       len = ast_codec_get_len(class->format, res);
+       len = ast_codec_get_len(class->format, res * (ast_format_rate(class->format) / 8000 )); // some codecs do not use 8khZ
 
        if ((res2 = read(class->srcfd, sbuf, len)) != len) {
                if (!res2) {

Now you can stream high quality MoH using config like this:

[SmoothJazz] mode=custom application=/usr/bin/mpg123 -q -s -m -r 16000 -b 512 -@ http://tinyurl.com/7d4d6od format=slin16
