Yep, kind of.

IIRC.
Audio from the speaker(s) to a conference will always be transformed into
the common internal format (signed linear) to be mixed togheter (if more
than one speaker surpass the audio energy threshold), and then the result
of the speakers mix will be sent to each listening participant, transcoded
to each participant own codec.
So, if all participants have same codec, only one linear to codec is done
and the result is distributed.

Also, not sure if with one only speaker over the energy threshold, and
listeners with same codec as speaker (eg, no mix needed), maybe the speaker
is directly distributed without even transcoding to linear?
Can't remember...

Anyway, transcoding audio il not so heavy.

Transcoding video, or just mixing video, is very heavy. If you want video
conf without load, use pass through mode instead of mux. This way
(conference passthroufh mode, as opposed to.mux mode) it will just
distribute the "video floor" video stream (eg, the speaker stream) to all
participants, without noticeable load.
