[Asterisk-Users] Conferencing without Meetme

[Juan Jose Comellas]

I'm currently writing some code to support conferencing in Asterisk without 
using the Meetme application. The conference runs in its own thread and every 
new inbound or outbound channel that is created is passed to it. This thread 
runs the conference loop reading and writing frames to each channel. 

I'm writing this as if it were a bridge with more than two channels, and I'm 
not using the native bridging capabilities of the channels because apparently 
they only allow two channels. Is there any special precaution that I have to 
be aware of when doing this? Do I have to masquerade the channels that are 
inserted into the conference? The channels will mainly use SIP (maybe IAX2 
too occasionally).

Thanks for your help.
