OK, just to reassure people I didn't forget, I've now produced a patch
for trunk and another for the 1.2 branch, by porting my changes across
from the version I had, which was based on 1.0.

However, I think I ought to check they compile and run before I submit
them! I've run out of time to do that which weekend, so it will be a
couple of days.

If anyone else would like to try them out any quicker, please email me
and I'll send you copies.

Just to summarise what these patches provide:

1. The muting logic in the conference loop is tidied up, so that muting
and unmuting is done according to the flag states near the top of the
loop, and the DTMF muting/unmuting codes just set or clear the flags.

2. The 'm' flag now means "initially muted", but allows the user to be
unmuted from the command line. Users cannot unmute themselves if they
were muted from the command line, only if they muted themselves.

3. The new 'l' flag means "listen only" and is what the 'm' flag used
to be - unmuting is not possible.

4. Manager API events are generated when a user is muted or unmuted by
admin or themselves.

5. The code '*' in the admin or user menus generates an API event which
can be used by a user to attract the attention of an operator (e.g. a
muted user who wishes to speak).

Cheers
Tony
