You could always use ConfBridge(), starting in 1.6.2.*, which does not
require DAHDI/Zaptel, and therefore doesn't require a timer.

Let me be the first to tell you that using a virt for a conferencing
solution, especially if you want people to actually use it, sounds
like a 'Bad Idea'. You could oversubscribe the resources so you don't
starve the virt, but we already have a name or that. It's called not
using a virt in the first place.
