asterisk users - Jul 2004 - No data when recording a Meetme conference with Monitor

I'm trying to record a Meetme conference to disk, but the Monitor
application
doesn't seem to play nicely with Meetme.  In extensions.conf, I have this:

exten => 1000,1,Answer
exten => 1000,2,Monitor
exten => 1000,3,Meetme

This starts up the monitoring OK, and it records the prompts that Meetme 
gives, but as soon as the user enters the conference, the -out WAV file stops 
being updated.  The -in file is updated, and has the right data in it.  I've
also tried using the manager interface to monitor a call already in the 
conference, and I get the -in file OK, but the -out file is just an empty 
(44-byte) WAV.  It's as though the mixed output data for the conference
isn't
going to the Monitor app.

I initially tried this with the 1.0-stable branch, but I've since updated to
HEAD (7/8/04-14:26:23) with no change.  Is this a known problem?  Are there 
other ways to record a conference?

Thanks for your ideas,
Mark

I use an extra "call" to do this.
Write an .call file for example and let it connect through a local
extension to these 2 contexts. the macro's simply issue a Monitor
Command and do some management stuff. so it seems that you can't
really monitor a meetme conference.
this solution just adds another conferee and monitor's the other side :)

[meetmerecorder]
exten => 1,1,Answer
exten => 1,2,MeetMe(${confnumber}|dq)
exten => 1,3,HangUp

[meetmerecorderdummy]
exten => _X.,1,Answer
exten => _X.,2,Macro(record-enable)
exten => _X.,3,Wait(100000)
exten => _X.,4,HangUp
exten => h,1,Macro(record-cleanup)

Try it ;) It's working for me.
