I am working through a conference module problem I am having.  I have a simple dialplan implementation that answers an incoming call, plays a prompt, and then connects the call to a conference.  Initially, I would dial in on two clients (one PSTN/SIP gateway and the other a SIP client on my laptop).  The freeswitch console messages indicate the calls would connect to the conference but I heard no voice path.  I have been working on it this morning and simplified my dialplan to the following.  I have not modified the conference.conf.xml and I am using the default values.  What I am experiencing now is a tremendous amount of echo.  Any pointers on what the issue might be?

Here is my dialplan:

      <action application="answer"/>
      <action application="sleep" data="1000"/>
      <action application="playback" data="/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/PlumbleIntro.wav"/>

      <action application="conference" data="airespring"/>


Here is the freeswitch output:
