[Speex-dev] Noise suppression less than AGC gain

Are you using 1.2beta2? There's been lots of changes in both noise
suppression and AGC since 1.2beta1. So make sure you use 1.2beta2 if
that's not already the case.

It's actually possible to make noise suppression more aggressive, with a
price in quality. But in the end, it's mainly a matter of making sure
the AGC does the right thing. After you speak, does the level of the
noise start going up again?
