It's not zero, but it's lower than writing twice the amount of audio out 
to the filesystem. The infrastructure for it does not mandate the mixing 
happen during recording, but currently the MixMonitor application does 
not offer an unmixed mode (it could easily do so, however).

Not at this time, no. app_queue and chan_agent will need to upgraded to 
support it.

It will not be available until ABE version B.1 ships in the spring; it 
requires modifications to the bridge handling code in the core and thus 
can't be added as a new module.
