[Freeswitch-users] Confused about conferences

[Bradley Brashier]

So it sounds like "set" can work. But you'd still have to parse it. And even
then it's not recommended.

I have another couple of possible methods for you:
1) modification of mod_conference.
2) event socket.

If you modify mod_conference, you can probably do what you want, but it
obviously requires using C and modifying existing code.

If you use the event socket, you've got a bigger learning curve, perhaps,
but you can use a variety of languages, your code is separate (and therefore
easier to maintain), and you then know how the event socket works in case
you need to do something else later.
 Good luck with whatever you end up doing.
