Yay! Apparently in Asterisk 1.6 the timing source for the Meetme application is no longer ztdummy (fortunately I was unable to use m-a to compile zaptel) but rather relies on DAHDI, not only for timing but for conference mixing - see http://www.russellbryant.net/blog/2008/06/16/asterisk-16-now-with-a-new-timing-api/

$ apt-get install dahdi dahdi-dkms dahdi-linux #I think dahdi may be enough
$ echo dahdi_dummy >> /etc/modules
$ modprobe dadhi_dummy
