Funny, I did just the same thing yesterday. All it involved was changing
the line (in app_meetme.c):

res = ast_record_review(chan, "vm-rec-name", user->namerecloc, 10, "sln", &duration, NULL);

to be:

res = ast_play_and_record(chan, "vm-rec-name", user->namerecloc, 10, "sln", &duration, 128, 1000, NULL);

The 1000 is the number of milliseconds of silence to detect end of name,
so the use doesn't even have to press #. While doing this, I uncovered
a bug in the truncation of the trailing silence (it didn't). See bug
number 6903 on Mantis for the fix.

I guess it might be useful to have both options. Personally, I think having
the review and confirm step is just a waste of time, and I've never heard
it on a commercial conferencing system, so I would be happy with a permanent
change of behaviour.
