That is odd. ConfBridge doesn't really care about the channel
technology; if a Local channel joins with the same user profile as a SIP
channel, it should treat those channels in the same fashion.

Ices may be throwing it off here however. I'd try two different tests:

(1) Verify that with all 'normal' channel drivers, such as chan_sip,
that the Conference tears down correctly.

(2) Verify that a Local channel in an infinite wait gets ejected
properly and the conference tears down.

You can do that by:

exten => 1000_wait,1,Answer()
exten => 1000_wait,2,Wait(10000)
exten => 1000_wait,3,Hangup()

(Or something equally sinister)

If both (1) and (2) are successful, than there's some impact that the
Ices application is having on the Local channel that is messing up the
reference counting inside the ConfBridge. Otherwise, it's an error in
ConfBridge.
