Hold Music on Transfer but not on internal calls?

Hi All,

I noticed that the default behaviour of Asterisk when transferring calls is that the caller fist goes on hold (when you press the transfer key on the IP phone) and then once the destination has been entered and the transfer completed, the caller is taken off hold and ringing tones are played.

I want on hold music to play the whole time, so I read this thread: http://fonality.com/trixbox/forums/trixbox-forums/open-discussion...

So I've made the alterations and yes now hold music plays during a transfer. The down side is that now when you call an internal extension, you get played hold music instead of the IP phone ringing, which is not ideal, I'd far prefer that the phone rang rather then sang you a song when you're calling internally.

Is there anyway to change this behaviour so that transferring calls plays hold music, but internal calls just ring?
