Why don't you just use app_conference?

It might be easier to add the functionality you need to  
app_conference, than it would be to change the mixing architecture of  
meetme to be the same as app_conference.

You can already add most of this functionality to app_conference, if  
you attach something to the manager interface:  From the manager  
interface, app_conference will report each user's DTMF digits dialed,  
and will also allow you to, e.g. play sounds to users etc.

The idea here has been to keep all the "features" out of  
app_conference, and move them out to the manager interface, where you  
can write them in a much simpler language (i.e. perl, or whatever is  
your favorite).
