[Speex-dev] Proposed AGC additions

[Tom Grandgent]

Steve,

You're right.  The AGC gain does not max out when using VAD
(via the preprocessor).  So instead of not transmitting when
the AGC max gain is reached, I now do this instead:

Start the call with VAD enabled and AGC disabled.  When speech
is detected, disable VAD (if 100% continuous transmission is
desired for the call) and enable AGC.  This seems to be working
reliably so far.

However, I forgot to mention before another reason why it's
good to be able to set the max AGC gain.  One of my users
reminded me of it tonight: he wanted to be able to limit the
max AGC gain so that when he's not speaking, the AGC doesn't
pick up on other sounds from the room.

Tom
