I think you might be misunderstanding how these options work. The 
*conference* doesn't have talk-only and listen-only modes; each channel 
that is joined to the conference does, based on the flags that are 
supplied to Meetme() when that channel joins the conference.

If a channel is joined with the 't' flag (meaning it does not want to 
listen to the conference), then Asterisk *could* stop sending audio 
towards the device connected to that channel. I'm not sure if that 
actually happens or not.

If a channel is joined with the 'l' flag (meaning its audio will not be 
mixed into the conference), then Asterisk *could* send it a message 
telling it to not bother sending any audio. That does not happen right 
now, but wouldn't be a terribly difficult patch to write.
