the ability to mute/unmute ones self is already there IF the system is enabled. push to talk has it's ups and downs also, that would mean (since the 'client' in this case can be a normal phone) that press button X and * sees the request and enables talk on that chan for XX seconds.. users never could talk for XX seconds <G> '.. and un' huh what?On Wed, 2004-10-27 at 06:50, Andrew Kohlsmith wrote:

the issue i think is being discussed is when all participants can talk. if you were simply retransmitting client side muted then you could fit alot of listeners amoung one or more servers to handle the client load.

I know that early on in the conference people could hear others -- there was a lot of complaining about someone's cellphone which was drowning out the talk.
I think it would be helpful if there was a method for the user to mute themselves from the conference, and toggle their mute status (maybe pressing some DTMF digit to mute/unmute). Of course, even better would be a method for each user to somehow "put up their hand", and eventually the 'mic' would be passed to them. Even a first-in-first-served basis might work.
ie, 300 people in conference, one person starts talking, after a configurable time-limit, or when the person presses a button, they 'mic' is removed and handed to the next person who indicated they wanted to speak. A record is kept of the order that the mic should take. A user can also cancel their request before their turn, or release their turn.
This would allow for a 'self-moderated' conference...
Of course, even the first option, where you can 'push-to-talk' would drastically improve things (filtering background noise from 300 people). I suppose if you wanted to get fancy, you could do speech detection on the 300 channels to auto-detect their 'push-to-talk' status, but this would (I think) be quite difficult. (This is different to simple silence detection I would think, but that might be a medium-term solution).

i am of the firm belief that there is no way on earth you could get 300 living, breathing poeple in a conference unmuted, and have them successfully 'self-moderate'.
you always have your 10% <G>
