I only have a view of some of the pieces, so this might be unworkable.  
I don't know much about Red 5 yet.

On the Asterisk side, it can already send audio to the sound card.  
Through ALSA or OSS configuration, you 'dial' the console like this 
'Dial Console/dsp|20' to send audio from an Asterisk channel to the 
sound card -- like a phone call or a recording.  We use it all the time 
to let people dial up the paging system and make announcements.  I've 
never looked to see if we can use the microphone input as a source for 
audio into Asterisk.

I imagine making a new plug-in for Asterisk or modification to 
chan_oss.c that would allow you to 'dial' Red5 and start participating 
in a stream.  If you're able to dial it, then you could include it in a 
conference call or meet-me session.  Therefore, you could have an audio 
SIP conference call with a dozen participants streaming to and from Red5 
with one connection.

Forgive me if I'm stating or re-stating something you already know.  I'm 
new here :-)
