 Yes. Announcements are played to the conference members by creating a
 channel of type 'Bridge' which streams the sound files.

 thanks
 klaus

 Further, is there somewhere a documentation

 Well, there is no sample configuration in the tarball because
 ConfBridge does require any configuration file.

I wonder what mute should mean. Does it mean that the participant will 
not receive any media, or that media sent by the participant will be 
ignored, or both?

thanks

Please post your discoveries to:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+ConfBridge

so we can all learn at together. I wrote that up when I couldn't find
documentation on my own. Obviously it's short on details.

Answering myself: muting means that the participants voice is ignored.

Thank you for updating the wiki and the list.

I looked into this when I was having problems with early 1.6.0.*
MeetMe(), specifically the talker detection problem where beginnings
and endings of sentences would be clipped and not mixed (exacerbated
by SIP vad). I was able to tune MeetMe() and SIP better and solve my
problem, but ConfBridge() certainly seemed promising. A big thanks to
Josh Colp and others for making this happen.

[asterisk-users] conferencing without DAHDI

2010-02-08 Thread Klaus Darilion
Hi!

IIRC there was an announcement some time ago that it is possible now to 
make conferences without the need for DAHDI anymore - but I can not 
remember the name of this feature anymore, and google didn't solved my 
problem.

Thus, any references to this new system are appreciated.

thanks
klaus

In Asterisk trunk there's a new conference bridge module you can test. There 
are also some third-party modules out there, like app_conference.

Hi Klaus,

The module is app_confbridge, and the application is ConfBridge. I had
been using it for a while because it's really easy to use : you don't
need any configuration file, and you get cool announcements upon
conference events from a playback channel.

The options work pretty much like meetme, although I would have liked
to have a 'x' option to close the conference when the last marked user
leaves. Moreover, I couldn't have the playback channel speak French,
from what I've read in the source code, I think that feature would
require a configuration file because the playback channel is not a per
user option.

And by the way, app_confbridge is included in the 1.6.2 series (at least).

Philippe, what exactly is a playback channel? Is it a pseudo participant

'core show application ConfBridge' in the CLI will give you the
options list. You'd probably also want to take a look at the
app_confbridge.c file. Very short and readable for such a powerful
app.
