[Speex-dev] mdf -- better adaption of W?

Testing with sine waves is usually not a good idea. If you intend on
cancelling speech, then test with speech.

right.

Peeking at the value tells you nothing unless you do the inverse FFT and
all so you can see them in the time domain. Even then, it's not that
useful.

Normal

Why? Because it's not perfect. What can be done? More tuning and
research into better adaptation algorithms. This is not a simple topic.
