It should, but I haven't tested it (might require a bit of tuning).

Not explicitly, but just cancelling echo would hopefully reduce that
(the preprocessor even more).

Save two files, look at waveform.

Less then one frame size is best. More than the echo tail and you've got
no cancellation at all.
