a conference with 1000 members demands huge resources... and this is not efficient if only 2-5% of members will actually talk.
you need to keep the actual conference to the minimum number of "speakers" and move listeners to a streaming "service".

so, focus on how to get your entire conference streamed somewhere.

another thing to consider.... do the "listeners" really need to be in time sync with the conference ? They will just hear the conversation from the conference a bit later... thats all.

problem with shoutcast streaming is the extreme latency

you definitely want to have only the speakers into conference, and stream to all others.

I was thinking that the muted flag (CAN_SPEAK?) is something that can change mid conference which means there is a chance of loosing a single frame (the last one right before muting). I was more interested in knowing as far as performance if it makes sense.
not sure if this is safe but something like only starting conference_loop_launch_input if that flag is not set.
I still wish there would be module that would do exactly this (something like shoutcast but local and without the shoutcast latency)

There's already a muted flag you could use for that.

Thanks for the reply.
Another idea I'm thinking of is to add a LISTEN_ONLY mflag to mod_conference and only run conference_loop_input thread on channels that don't have this flag, that way I don't need to set up a shoutcast server and have everything contained within freeswitch, does that make sense?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a large audio conference of over 1000 users where only 1 or 2 users are talking and the rest are just listening, but after 600-700 users the CPU usage gets too high and the audio gets choppy, I understand that mod_conference is not optimized for my use case but was wondering if someone has any suggestions on what can be done to optimize for my use case.
I was also thinking that maybe there is a  better alternative for what I look for, such as having just the talkers on the conference and the listeners should listen to it via mod_local_stream or maybe use something like eavesdrop for the listeners but not sure if and how much performance I would gain.
Thanks for any help or input
