One area of weakness in app_meetme that appears to be
migrating into app_confbridge is the menuing.

The current design limits the menu to single digit
menu choices.  That in itself is not horrible, but then
we have four volume options (talk up/down, listen up/down).

Tony proposed a redesign a few months back that would
allow for multiple digit menu choices, which would allow
grouping of similar options-

        41- Talk volume up
        42- Talk volume down
        43- Listen volume up
        44- listen volume down

Which would also free up room for new options.  There is
only one open option in the Admin menu, and two in the
user menu (and I have a patch on Mantis that uses one from
each).
