Can someone please tell me in which file the code for the

app_bridge.c ? app_confbridge.c ? What are you looking for,
exactly?
The apps folder:
http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk/apps/
So I have a question with regard to app_confbridge, which provides an
application called ConfBridge.
I did find a bug here that discusses bridging and confbridge, but not
really what I wanted to know:
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=14389
Is there a good bug discussing the story behind the differences of
ConfBridge and MeetMe, or where it came from, or if I'm right that
ConfBridge is a new approach to MeetMe?
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? Do I
need to pull down trunk and build that? I just took a look through
1.6.1.0 for app_confbridge.c and it's not there, so perhaps this will
be going into 1.6.2.*
If you would like to give it a test it is already available in 1.6.2 and the
documentation for it available by
typing core show application ConfBridge.
