I would also be very interested in doing this. I don't think it's 
currently possible out-of-the-box, but presumably it wouldn't be 
terribly hard to hack up the meetme application to support this, 
provided it's possible to do a one-way audio conference. So, the 
question is, is it?

Various people seem to be having SIP NAT one-way issues, so we could 
pipe things out over a loopback device set up to block UDP going one 
way. Very nasty and hacky, but might be easy and not much hassle. :)
