This determines at compile time what kind of silence detection to 
include.

For scalability, you probably don't want to use silence detection 
anyway, but it can be used if your input isn't already using silence 
detection, (at least speex silence detection) is more expensive than 
actually mixing channels.  (we need it, though, because we monitor the 
conference via the mgmt interface, and need to know who is talking and 
who is not.

I don't think it's in the Wiki, and it's not really documented;  We've 
talked about it a bit on iaxclient-devel mailing list; If someone wants 
to document it on the Wiki (or contribute a simple doc), that would 
help people, and also it might be interesting to see it benchmarked 
against meetme.  It has somewhat different goals than meetme, and in 
those specific cases, should scale better.
