You mean creating a new endpoint that would stream the conference, same idea as mod_lcoal_stream can stream a shoutcast stream? that's what I was thinking of but after looking at the code involved I see that is beyond my C skills, and I have a budget of only around $500 for this so don't think I will find someone else to do it.


I do not see $500 to fit the bill :)

with a little bit of ingenuity, you can cobble together a solution:

1) have a conf with speakers only with a meta key that transfer them to extension abc if they don't need to speak anymore
2) have the conf outcall extension xyz
3) extension xyz answers and then shoutcast to shoutcast server
4) shoutcast server is used as source for music on hold
5) all listeners calls extension abc
6) extenmsion abc answers then put the caller on music on hold and give them a meta key that will transfer them to conf if they need to speak

CPU=0
Profit!
:D

or, you can make a variation that uses mod_shell_stream that pipes the outcall to a temp mp3 file that is then streamed by music on hold to listeners.

be creative!

good luck,
