Jean Marc,
Thanks for the advice. The estimate update may come in handy.
I have had some time to play with the adaptation time. I tried
making the adaptation time 80, 160 and 320. It seemed like
the smaller value was actually the best in my initial testing,
but I need to test this against a more noisy setup than I have here.
I am guessing that for vad a shorter adaptation time is probably
better for most situations?
