Ah, I see now what you are asking. That makes sense.

Unfortunately, the request is a little complicated. MEETME_INFO() can only
request information about active conference calls.

When MeetMe() is called, Asterisk goes to meetme.conf to retrieve
conference configuration. It does this for every call to MeetMe(), so the
conference doesn't exist in memory at all until someone calls it.

So obtaining information on conferences with dynamic extensions and
options is simply impossible. Obtaining information on statically
configured conferences is possible only if the file is parsed, assuming the
file isn't altered afterward.
