I think the works you are concerned about already are consistent with
the scenario you raise. Specifically,

> and assign any mixing or conferencing resources necessary to complete the join

includes the case where no mixing or conferencing resources are necessary.
_______________________________________________

I think that Paul is correct here.  If two dialogs go to a server and are joined at the server, and both dialogs are sendonly at the server, then "mixing" is very simple: the one source (generated by the server) is duplicated as RTP to each dialog's remote end.

In practice, one might say that this "does not allocate mixing resources".  OTOH, for some implementations, this duplication of the media stream may require the allocation of a mixing resource, if no other component of the server can perform the duplication.

I do not see this as a problem that needs to be solved.
