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. -- Juan Jose Comellas (juanjo@comellas.com.ar)
