[Asterisk-Users] app_conference DTMFs?

[Matt Florell]

It really depends on the application. app_conference does wonderfully
for long conferences without a lot of entry/exit and no playing of
audio files.

The issues with the double-free crashes that we've had all seem to be
caused by playing of audio files(like the entry/exit sounds or the
DTMF broadcast). But these functions use the app_conference code that
was already existing to play audio files from manager API commands so
the issue was there it just wasn't as tested because not many people
use the manager command a lot to play audio in conferences.

The other issue we had with app_conference was using it in high-volume
VICIDIAL outbound production(thousands of entry/exit actions per hour)
where it would always fail after 1-8 hours. In this case there wasn't
a crash, but strangely app_conference just seemed to stop working like
the engine died. Everything else in Asterisk kept working but you
couldn't do anything in app_conference without stopping and starting
Asterisk again.
