Dear All,
I am developing an application using pjsip on a custom board based
on an ARM CORTEX A8 CPU.
At the beginning I didn't defined PJMEDIA_AUDIO_DEV_HAS_ALSA and my
software used the portaudio interface.
The latency was very low and the Speex AEC worked pretty good.
The problem was that the portaudio interface was not very stable and
after a while the audio crashed keeping the device busy (too much irq
requests, I suppose).
Then I switched to the ALSA interface. Here I can not decrease the
latency below the 100ms (from pjsystest), but it is enough.
When the AEC is disabled the audio is good, apart from the echo.
When I enable the Speex AEC, I can not achieve a good echo cancellation
but the worst thing is that after few seconds, I get a lot of buffer
errors as shown below.
I have these few questions:
1) how can I avoid these buffer issues? (maybe increasing the priority
of the audio thread?)
In any case I don't undertand the capture overrun: each captured frame
corresponds to a played frame. If the input samples are not enough
(there could be many reasons for that), it could be better to play an
ampty frame but the capure thread should not overrun, isn't it?
2) I know quite well the Speex aec. The far-end (speaker) and the
near-end (mic) signals must be aligned properly.
After I set the ALSA buffer sizes with the rec latency, and play latency
parameters, I get a certain far-end to near-end delay, 106ms in my case.
Now I have to tell to the AEC to delay the far end signal of more of 106
ms. How can I do that?
3) The far-end to near-end latency depends on the buffer management,
when I open the audio channel the latency is only 10ms but every time a
new buffer is allocated, this latency increases of 20ms. Usually the
number of buffers allocated at the beginning is constant but it should
be nice to allocate them once, when audio is opened.
Here what I get with pjsystest, thesting the AEC:
