This is really a good idea to determine the frequency difference between capture
and play of the sound card. But it need constant far-end voice and a long time
because it must repeat the process of "resampling, test echo" for many times.

Have you tried the AEC in DirectSound? If this AEC is usable for all sound cards,
perhaps microsoft has solved this problem already. Can we choose proper options
of the DirectSound to solved this problem and disable its AEC at the same time?

Waiting for your good news.

>> I worked some time for a company doing AEC using Speex on Windows.It is true it depends a lot on sound card models. I remember I could do AEC by resampling frequencies so play and record frequencies where equal.Frequencies where aprox 100Hz appart.Also, I know that on other cases AEC was achieved by disabling FX DirectSound effects where it wasn`t possible before that.Try to disable all you don't need before calling Speex AEC function.
>> Also, I tried the ASIO driver,as an experiment. I think it worked, but it was of no practical use.
