[Speex-dev] AEC learning behaviour

[Maris Engineering]

Simon,

superb! thanks for that contribution. I'll investigate it. Due to having  
this already present, it makes sense for me to spend some time in figuring  
out how I can modify convergencing parameters. Background: in real  
situations it always can happen that the canceller gets out of control and  
then convergences again (e.g. due to long pauses or near overload events).  
I'd use more conservative (slower) convergencing or even limits to  
internal state changes (analogy: limit of I-excursion of a tradidional  
pid-controller) when a "saved" SpeexEchoState is reused.
