[Speex-dev] trouble getting speex_echo_cancel() to work

[Jean-Marc Valin]

Hi,

A couple things you may want to check:
- set sampling rate to 8 kHz (at least for now)
- make sure the far end signal in the playback signal is always a bit in
advance (never late) compared to the mic signal.
- Set the tail length to something around 100 ms.

Also, if you're using two different soundcards (as I understand) for the
playback and the capture, you're *never* going to get echo canceller to
work because the playback and capture need to be *exactly* in sync.
