High quality conferencing is a difficult task, and still a research topic. No two conferencing systems perform alike.

It may well be that a simplistic implementation (noise gate, add them all up) is all that's required for dealing with small groups or, more generally, groups of any size which have a small number of active speakers at any one time: it's predictable and unlikely to introduce unpleasant side effects. --Dave
