<DIV><SPAN class=312131817-09082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm a new Speex list
member, and so far I'm very impressed with Speex. BUT automatic gain
control seems to me to be virtually unusable. If a recorded utterance
begins with even a tiny noise, that noise is amplified to the maximum
volume. (See, e.g. the initial utterance in the TIMIT corpus, "She
kept your dark suit...")</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=312131817-09082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>This seems like a
bug to me. If list members agree, any idea on how to fix
it?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
