 * If participants (MSAudioEndpoint) are using sampling rate different from the conference, then sample rate converters are automatically added

 * The conference processing is performed in a new thread run by a MSTicker object, which is owned by the conference.
 * When all participants are removed, the MSAudioConference object can then be safely destroyed with ms_audio_conference_destroy().

/**
 * Creates an MSAudioEndpoint from an existing AudioStream.
 *
 * In order to create graphs for audio processing of each participant, the AudioStream object is used, because
 * this object already handles all the processing for volume control, encoding, decoding, etc...
 *
 * The construction of the participants depends whether it is a remote participant, that is somebody in the network
 * sending and receiving audio through RTP, or a local participant, that is somebody using the local soundcard to capture
 * and play audio.
 *
 * To create a remote participant, first create and start an AudioStream for the participant with audio_stream_new() and
 * audio_stream_start_with_files(), given NULL arguments as input and output files.
 * This participant does not interact with soundcards, this is why we suggest to use audio_stream_start_full() to avoid 
 * holding any reference to the sound system.
 * Then, create a MSAudioEndpoint representing this participant by calling ms_audio_endpoint_get_from_stream() with
 * is_remote=TRUE.
 *
 * To create a local participant, first create and start an AudioStream with audio_stream_new() and audio_stream_start_full(), 
 * with real soundcard arguments.
 * Arguments controlling RTP should be filled with placeholders value and will not be used for conferencing.
 * Then, create a MSAudioEndpoint representing this local participant by calling ms_audio_endpoint_get_from_stream() 
 * with the audiostream and is_remote=FALSE.<br>
 * For example:<br>
 * <PRE>
 * AudioStream *st=audio_stream_new(65000,65001,FALSE);
 * audio_stream_start_full(st, conf->local_dummy_profile,
 *				"127.0.0.1",
 *				65000,
 *				"127.0.0.1",
 *				65001,
 *				0,
 *				40,
 *				NULL,
 *				NULL,
 *				playcard,
 *				captcard,
 *				needs_echocancellation,
 *				);
 * MSAudioEndpoint *local_endpoint=ms_audio_endpoint_get_from_stream(st,FALSE);
