Bug#998809: jami: No echo cancellation on pipewire-pulse

[Bruno Kleinert]

Package: jami
Version: 20210112.2.b757bac~ds1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: fuddl at debian.org

Hi,

I'm using Jami with speakers and webcam microphone. When I use pipewire-pulse
instead of pulseaudio, there is no echo cancellation applied in Jami (People I
call tell me they hear an echo of themselves).

When I use Jami on pulseaudio, /usr/lib/pulse-15.0+dfsg1/modules/module-echo-
cancel.so is used to cancel the echo. Instead, on pipewire-pulse
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pipewire-0.3/libpipewire-module-echo-cancel.so seems
to be available, but is not used to cancel the echo. I would expect echo
cancellation to work on both audio daemons.

I report the bug against jami because I observe and reproduce it with this
package. If it is an issue in one of the pipewire packages, please forward
accordingly.

Cheers,
Bruno
