I would like to see something similar to app_conference where the

Is there any interest in this?
Absolutely.
Kevin, you know the internals infinitely better than I do. Is
this a
major undertaking?
Why don't you just use app_conference?
It might be easier to add the functionality you need to
app_conference, than it would be to change the mixing architecture of
meetme to be the same as app_conference.
You can already add most of this functionality to app_conference, if
you attach something to the manager interface: From the manager
interface, app_conference will report each user's DTMF digits dialed,
and will also allow you to, e.g. play sounds to users etc.
The idea here has been to keep all the "features" out of
app_conference, and move them out to the manager interface, where you
can write them in a much simpler language (i.e. perl, or whatever is
your favorite).

I have looked at app_conference many, many times and it looks great,
but I really want to see something supported within Asterisk.
Conferencing is a killer app and Asterisk itself should have a very
good implementation.
There's no technical reason why app_conference couldn't go inside
asterisk. The code could be disclaimed, if people were interested in
maintaining it in the core.
It _is_ maintained, as I use it all the time, but there's actually a
couple of issues which make it less than ideal at the moment:
1) It wants all users to have 20ms frames, and will not be happy
otherwise (so, iLBC, etc are no good).
2) it doesn't include _any_ features.
These can both be addressed, and it might be easier than trying to
change the meetme architecture. (also, (2) can be done more cleanly
than in meetme, because it can be external from the actual muxing
functionality).
I guess, you could also take the guts of app_conference, and
transplant them into meetme (you'd still need the disclaimer), but
then you'd still have all the muxing functionality mixed into the
features..
