MeetmeAutoMute is a utility for Asterisk that can automatically mute participants in a Meetme conference. This can be handy for when you are using the conference to broadcast some audio (like during… a speech or presentation, and do not want to have people interfere with the speaker. It is written in Python and uses the AMI through the “pyst” library (http://pyst.sourceforge.net/). Everything is configurable through a config file, and can be controled at run time through the use of “signals”. I have also included an “init.d” style bash script that can be used for starting, stopping and reloaded the config file. The script will start the app as a background daemon.
