Actually Andy, you are wwwrrrr, wwwwwrrrrr, wwwwrrrrr, not exactly correct.
Note that he wants to inhibit video AND audio transmission.

What this does is restrict video senders, but a "lurker" can still send audio.
With the NO-LOCAL-SENDERS option, and/or CONF-RCVONLY-ID conference, only
those that are allowed in with an ADMIT-SENDER, or CONF-ADMIT-SENDER are
allowed to send audio and video, all others are prohibited. The other people
can still send Chat, but no audio or video.

BTW, I should mention that CONF-RCVONLY-ID and CONF-ROOT-ID have a bug in B2D3
reflectors. If you specify either type of conference, you will not be able to
specify any more conferences later on in the reflect.conf file. You can have
as many CONF-DUPLEX-ID conferences as you want. Sorry...

I've fixed it, and it will be in the next release, which will be out soon....
