> 1) 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.

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.

Yes, it should be in milliseconds and yes, it does matter.

There shouldn't be any special problem with VBR. If there is, it's just
a bug. The jitter buffer hasn't been tested that much yet.
