[Speex-dev] AEC gets worse as sample rate increases

[Jean-Marc Valin]

Try using SPEEX_ECHO_SET_SAMPLING_RATE to specify your sampling rate.
Also, don't forget that the tail need to be longer (proportional to the
sampling rate). Last thing, if you use resampling, make sure you use a
decent resampler (the Speex one is fine) because otherwise, any aliasing
left will not be cancelled.
