That is not a trivial problem.  If you do the multiplexing on the  
server, it will get quite CPU intensive, since you have to decode all  
streams, merge them and encode the result.  A better way would be to  
do it at the client, thus spreading the CPU load, but in this case  
you need support for multiple streams between two endpoints and I'm  
not sure that Asterisk is up to that (yet)
