Here's an idea.

Have the leader enter MeetMe with the X option. In the same context, have
an extension number, say 1, which calls MeetMeAdmin with the N flag, which
means Mute All except Admins. It then puts him back into the MeetMe straight
away. You probably want to use the 'q' flag to suppress the enter and leave
sounds.

[meetme-admin]
exten => _X.,1,Set(CONF=${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,2,Answer
exten => _X.,3,MeetMe(${CONF}|daAqX)
exten => _X.,4,Hangup

exten => 1,1,MeetMeAdmin(${CONF}|N)
exten => 1,2,MeetMe(${CONF}|daAqX)
exten => 1,3,Hangup

exten => 2,1,MeetMeAdmin(${CONF}|n)
exten => 2,2,MeetMe(${CONF}|daAqX)
exten => 2,3,Hangup

[meetme-others]
exten => _X.,1,Set(CONF=${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,2,Answer
exten => _X.,3,MeetMe(${CONF}|dqwx)
exten => _X.,4,Hangup

So with the above, an admin ought to be able to press '1' to mute everyone
except the admins, and '2' to unmute them again.

Further functionality can be added using similar techniques.

Cheers
Tony
