Speex dev - Jul 2011 - Extracting Coefficients from the AEC

Hello,

I am new to this forum and have done my best to search for my answer before
emailing, but have been unsuccessful. I have an application where I would like
to utilize the speex AEC library for canceling hybrid echo. I thought it would
be useful to save the coefficients of the filter for reuse, especially since the
characteristics of the echo path will not vary. The specific application for the
hybrid scenario consists of a "side-tone" producing device (e.g.
radio) connected to a full-duplex interface which connects to a digital voice
network. It isn't a show stopper if this in not a capability, but in the
event my system or software was reset, it would be nice to not have to
reconverge every time (i.e. intialize the adaptive filter to a non-zero state).

Thanks in advance!

Doug C.

The Speex echo canceller was designed to cancel room echoes. It is a 
poor choice to cancel hybrid echo. Try OSLEC. That is designed for 
hybrid echoes.

Really? Do you call the same number every time, and through the same 
delay path?

The far end hybrid and telephone is a big part of your total echo, so 
you will need to readapt each time. The last set of coefficients may not 
even be a very good starting point for readaption.
