There is no bug because it wasn't really driven out of a bug being present. Development of it was driven by the internal way we bridge channels together and how it isn't flexible for what we really need. Let me explain a bit about each application. MeetMe as you know is a conferencing application that requires DAHDI. It doesn't just require DAHDI because of timing it also requires it because the actual conferencing engine/mixing takes place inside of DAHDI itself. Rewriting MeetMe not to use DAHDI would essentially be writing a new application. ConfBridge is a conferencing application that uses a new internal architecture for developers. The application itself is basically a user of the architecture and provides some additional outside capabilities like an IVR menu, join/leave sounds, etc. The actual mixing is done underneath in the architecture's core by a separate Asterisk module. I originally wrote ConfBridge as a test application of the architecture but in the end it just made sense to continue development on it and make it available as many individuals wanted a conferencing application that did not require DAHDI and it was simple to maintain. > What's the best way for me to be able to play with ConfBridge?
