Speex dev - Dec 2009 - Clarification of the AEC parameters

Hi,

I would like to have some more information about the parameter of
speex_echo_state_init.
I have a clear idea of the importance of the filter_length in the echo
cancellation, what it is more obscure for me is the role of frame_size and
how its value affect the algorithm.
Let use, for example, frame_size = 400, would I obtain the same result of
using frame_size = 200 but with half method call?
Is it this value important for obtaining a smaller time to let the filter
adapt? or filter adapting depends only on the ratio
frame_size/filter_length?

I will be grateful for every more info that you can give me in order to
understand better the role of frame_size algorithm.

The frame size is the amount of audio you process with every call, so it 
has an obvious impact on latency. In general, the longer the frame size, 
the lower the CPU usage. However, it also means slower adaptation. In 
general a frame size around 5-20 ms is usually a good choice.
