Eddy,

I'm evaluating echo cancellation in 1.2beta2 myself and I got pretty  
decent results.  A couple of things to keep in mind:
- if there's clock drift between your output and input devices, then  
EC will not work properly.
- you might want to link EC with the preprocessor, so you eliminate  
residual echo as well...

In my tests I have a wave file containing speech played back on my  
speakers.  My test app then records whatever comes in from the  
microphone and applies speex_echo_cancellation and then  
speex_preprocess_run.  The resulting sound is saved in another wave  
file.  I am getting pretty good results with this setup, with echo  
being almost completely eliminated.
