Thank you both for your responses. From looking at the app_conference page in the wiki, it seems as though it is best used for one or two speakers and everyone else just listening. Unfortunately, my company likes to have conferences with 15 or so people and everyone can talk.
Am I just reading into the example too much? Will it allow many speakers? Does anyone have experience with app_conference that would be able to comment on its effectiveness? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of BJ Weschke Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 4:36 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] MEETME core uses ulaw? I was going to recommend the same to him last night, but then I started digging into the code there and realized they were transcoding back to LINEAR at their core as well. Now they're not passing that back through a ZapTel psuedo channel like app_meetme does, but I'd be interested to see if that fixes the delay issue discussed.
