[Speex-dev] AEC learning behaviour

[Jean-Marc Valin]

The fact that the AEC takes a few seconds to converge is normal. The  
fact that it needs to completely re-converge in the middle of a call  
probably indicates that something went "wrong" in the audio  
capture/playback. For example, that could be an overrun/underrun in  
the soundcard buffer, or the user changing a volume control after the  
AEC, or moving the speakers, ... anything that changes the impulse  
response.
