This blatantly isn't required. You accept that conferencing will introduce 
a small delay (which you need anyway to de-jitter the UDP packets), write 
the streams into circular buffers, and mix these buffers down 20ms later. 
It's not exactly rocket science.

I know that this works, because I'm running conferencing on my Java IAX2 
stack across tens of simultaneous calls using nothing better than 
Thread.sleep() (which has a resolution of about 23ms on a 2.4 kernel).

Best regards,

Al
