Sure, I check the correlation between what I remove and what's left
after. If that correlation is far in the negative, it means I'm actually
adding more echo instead of removing it.

This is a bit similar to point 1. I check whether I'd get better results
be multiplying what I remove by a certain factor. If I'm removing too
much (hence adding some echo with opposite phase), then it's
over-cancellation, if I'm not removing enough, then it's
under-cancellation.

Yes, the preprocessor is able to remove a lot of the residual echo and
also performs some noise reduction.

Now there's the archive :-)
