Sorry for not replying before, I wanted to do some tests and I couldn't find
the time to do them till today.

I've been testing this proposal (I've built after applying the
ec-enable.patch and downloading new sources) and I don't see this clear at
all.

I mean... I tested echo cancellation and it doesn't seem to work at all, I
mean, when we talked with upstream about echo cancellation [1] he always
refered to the tipic patch and to NLMS. It looks to me like if we remove
that, we are loosing the echo cancellation, at least the good one and the
one that remains in the program is a bad one (IE: not working at all here).

So... I'd say... either we try to find out if the license for all the tipic
stuff is really LGPL and if so we package with tipic and EC and all the
stuff, or we leave it like it is and we try to fix this bug in our sources.

For me it was an error to let this -2 package get to testing, we should have
left the RC bug till we had solved all this. That way the original dfsg
package wouldn't have been overritten by this one which is mostly the same,
but that is old stuff anyway.

That's how I see it, but I'd like to hear other opinions, tests, ...

Regards...
