The shorter you make the tail length the faster it will adapt. But this 
will make it more important to reduce HW/SW latency so that you don't 
waste the first part of the tail length on latency that will never have 
useful audio to adapt on. Also be careful not to overcompensate for 
latency, because then the AEC will see the recorded echo before the 
played back signal, and it will break its assumption of causality (that 
is that the recorded signal does not come before the played back signal).
