I am setting up a conference to use for paging similar to http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Lua_Intercom and I noticed that the first 2 seconds of audio are not being sent. After reviewing the logs it appears that the first member to enter the conference is automatically given the floor event thought it was entered with the mute flag. I set it up so that the originator enters the conference with the moderator flag and is also unmuted, however it appears that he doesn't get the floor right away, even though he's the only unmuted member. It takes about 2 seconds of speech for the moderator to get the floor. I have the following settings for the conference profile I use: <param name="energy-level" value="0"/> <param name="conference-flags" value="wait-mod"/> <param name="moh-sound" value="silence"/> <param name="moh-sound" value="silence"/> I tried setting <param name="member-flags" value="waste"/> but it didn't help, for now I changed it so that the moderator enters the conference with the wast flag. Are there any other settings I can use to either avoid giving a muted member the floor, or to speed up the time it takes to give the floor to the moderator? Thank You, Duvid Rottenberg
