Well,
At least I have some examples of my latest experiments:
http://www.kwaak.net/~ard/example.tar.bz2
It's a shocking 9 megabytes, and contains 3 files:
The source (out.wav) going into the modem, the mixed signal
(in.wav) coming from the modem, and the results (hds.wav) I get
with my latest experiments.

The experiment:
- disable-adaption-rate.patch
- disable-AUMDF-weight-constraints-when-adaption-rate=0.patch
  (hah, no patch yet).
- call, initialize the filter by using impulses (ie. ticking the
  microphone, and humming something).
  adapt_rate=0 until a clear silent line is available, and only
  then I start training.
- save the echo-state
---
- load the echo-state
- adapt_rate = 0 (so AUMDF-weight constraints is also disabled)
- call and record

upload the samples.

What happens during the recording: I talk to my collegea, and
somewhere during the converstation we switch places.
Eh, yes, there is a big system humming near me.
