If chan_zap is not available, meetme will fall back to using /dev/zaptel/pseudo
directly. However, in that case, certain functions will not work:

- 'i' option to play username entering and leaving the conference;
- 'r' option to record the conference into a file

These functions rely on there being an ast_channel interface to the conference
pseudo-channel, not just a raw file descriptor.
