[speex-dev] More Speex (pre-processing) Options

[Tom Grandgent]

I don't think the echo canceller works yet.  The best I could 
get it to do is trash my audio.  If it does work, some sample 
code demonstrating its use would be really appreciated...

Here is what Jean-Marc has said about it in the past:

> What should I use for a filter length for speex_echo_state_init()? 

"Well, it depends on your problem. The filter length represents the
maximum delay of the echo. For acoustic echo, that value is generally
higher than for line echo. You'll need to experiment, but a value around
500 (for 8 kHz) might be a good start."

> [question about params for echo canceller function]

"Actually, ref is the incoming frame (with echo), echo is the outgoing
frame (that has only the echo) and out is the echo-cancelled frame. As
for Yout, it is an estimation of the residual echo that can be sent to
the denoiser so that residual echo can be removed as well. Note that
this last feature is still experimental."
