This is a classic case of a feature that could/should be handled by the
phone itself but since no two manufacturers would ever do it the exact same
way it falls to the server to do the dirty work.

I suppose the most elegant solution would be a mod_dptools app that knew
exactly what to do. However, that would require a bit of programming skill
and some time and patience.

An alternative would be silently dropping all 3 parties into a conference
and using the "relate" feature where you can define who hears whom.
However, I don't know if the transition into the conference room would
cause a blip in the audio or not, which is why an explicit "whisper_page"
dp app would be best.
