[asterisk-dev] Proposing meetme patch

Hi Dan,

thanks for your answer,

We just solved the problem with dialplan logic to have a quick fix. I still think that a small patch to app_meetme might be the better solution in the long run.

Both.

That's what I thought as well. I suppose an additional flag to MeetMe to allow this behaviour might be the easiest solution and could find its way to trunk faster due to the small complexity and testing requirements. I yet fail to see why there is the need for separate admin and moderator roles though.

Another thought: I could patch the "w" option to react on admins as well. Better yet: Create the "W" option that will react on moderator _and_ admins. Might be more consistent.
