Well, sorry about not being clear.  What I understood is more like this:

   http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=PBX+Barge-In

"Barge-In is a feature in which an extension - such as an operator -
can break into a conversation between two extensions or an extension and
an outside line."

Right.  But signaling information is needed to start barge-in, right?
Once this is available, how to get a handle on the media?

What about some kind of SEMS hack?  Or, is it possible to tap into
rtpproxy or mediaproxy for that matter?  Assuming that some soldering
is required, of course...

Thanks,
Sajith.
