Call.conference

call.conference is sent from an existing channel to the conference module to request that the call is converted to a conference.

If the message succeeds the two call endpoints are disconnected and connected each as a conference leg to the same room. The name of the room is returned in the message and can be used to attach more call legs making it an N-way conference.
