:) Interesting question - I believe that this would require a
modification to app_meetme to allow a called-user to request to talk
if they are started muted. I certainly don't see such a feature
documented at the moment.

You may have some luck if you create a custom feature in features.conf
that executes the MeetMe UnMute command if a certain key sequence if
pressed. Not sure how that would work though, just dumping random
thoughts really.

good starting place for further reading and ideas.
