More specifically, you can pass DTMF through a conference if the source
and destination channels in the conference are Zap channels, and Meetme
has not been told to listen for keypresses itself, (we have a customer
doing so), but you can't (yet) do it when VoIP channels are involved.

To reply to the original question about transferring the channels into
the Meetme, define a dialplan extension which will enter the Meetme
conference, and then in your app, look at using ast_async_goto() on
the relevant channels.
