If they both use the same ports they cannot coexist on
the same machine.
Ports opened on a wildcard address cannot be used by other programs that want to open the
same port on a specific address on the same machine

Yeah I sort of remembered that, but I wasn't sure. Thanks.
(it might as well have been possible when the kernel first checks the specific address
sockets and would fall back to the wildcard socket when none matches)
Unfortunately I have no experience with running conference software at all.
When a conference can run via a proxy, it can still be done on a single machine!
Just configure all the conference addresses as proxies, make these private, and connect
the conferences to those.
All UDP I/O will be via the wildcard sockets and the TCP connects can be local on the same
machine.
(selected proxies can be made private by configuring something like
Password_51=mysecretpassword while the global setting
is Password=PUBLIC)
