Dan, I think I might need a diagram. IAX has a few neat tricks that can
probably help you, but I can't say which until we have a better  
picture of
the data flow.

One thing we have done (in use in twiddla.com) is to feed several  
channels
into a lightly hacked meetme. The meetme is configured to do speaker
detection (and here is the hack) whenever the speaker changes it sends
a text frame to all the members containing the calleridname of the  
current speaker.

Of course speaker detection based on energy isn't perfect, but it  
works pretty well.
