This was partly a straw-man, but also to solve a problem that I have.  I'll add concise to all the comparable code points as well, should i expose the entire struct, eg: menus, etc?  What about flags, should those get their own unique columns?

These commands haven't been well documented in the past.

Re: AMI/ARI, I'm open to also enhancing them, but like I said previously, the user didn't hold the talking/not-talking state, so unless you cached the previous talk/no-talking event I didn't see a way to fetch the current state.

Things like ConfBridgeList are not well constrained for a read-only capability of just polling these things.  I'd much prefer that but would need some help/pointers to expose this.

With the talker state, it shouldn't be that hard to add that to the ConfBridgeList I guess, but having a working hack was my primary goal so I can migrate away from meetme.  I'm also a bit bummed with the way the users time in conf was done in meetme and the channel start time is the best proxy I can find. 

Some of it may be the way we're actually using MeetMe/ConfBridge with a dedicated exten per user for their bridges that is part of our unified dialplan.  

eg: meetme
{noformat}
exten => s,n,Set(CONF_ARGS=${IF($[ ${ARG3} = 1]?${CONF_ARGS}I:${CONF_ARGS})}) ; if arg3=1 add I to CONF_ARGS record name at join
exten => s,n,Set(CONF_ARGS=${IF($[ ${ARG5} = 1]?${CONF_ARGS}r:${CONF_ARGS})}) ; if arg5=1 add r to CONF_ARGS record
exten => s,n,Set(CONF_ARGS=${IF($[ ${ARG7} = 1]?${CONF_ARGS}M:${CONF_ARGS})}) ; if arg7=1 add M to CONF_ARGS hold muzak when empty
exten => s,n,Set(CONF_ARGS=${IF($[ ${ARG8} = 1]?${CONF_ARGS}m:${CONF_ARGS})}) ; if arg8=1 add m to CONF_ARGS muted at start
{noformat}

eg: confbridge
{noformat}
exten => s,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,announce_join_leave)=${IF($[ ${ARG3} = 1]?yes:no)}) ; if arg3=1 set record name at join
exten => s,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(bridge,record_conference)=${IF($[ ${ARG5} = 1]?yes:no)}) ; if arg5=1 set record
exten => s,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,music_on_hold_when_empty)=${IF($[ ${ARG7} = 1]?yes:no)}) ; if arg7=1 set hold muzak when empty
exten => s,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,startmuted)=${IF($[ ${ARG8} = 1]?yes:no)}) ; if arg8=1 set muted at start
exten => s,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,quiet)=${IF($[ ${ARG9} = 1]?yes:no)}) ; if arg9=1 set no join/leave sound
exten => s,n,Set(CONFBRIDGE(user,admin)=${IF($[ ${ARG10} = 1]?$yes:no)}) ; if arg10=1 set admin mode
{noformat}

as we use all dynamic conferences, I can switch a database flag and convert people from Meetme <-> ConfBridge automatically it just switches the macro used.

I'll add the talking flag to the ConfBridgeList AMI, you're certainly right there.
