sometimes during a call a music starts to play pretty loud from one side of the call, which renders the conference useless. I still wonder how that happens.

That's the old 'someone forgot to mute the call before accepting another call' trick. That's music on hold.
I was on a conference call once where that happened. It took over 20 minutes to figure out a) who the heck was doing that, and b) how to eject them from the call.
Oh dear. I've usually identified them in 5-20secs, but it takes another 60 - 90 seconds for the Host to block them :/
