I wouldn't generally recommend downloading tarballs from these links
unless you know specifically what revision you want. After this commit
has come in there have been various further fixes (almost 100 new commits!).

So you should likely check out git master from git.

I've got a guide here:

> $:./bootstrap.sh
> $:./configure
> $:make
> $;sudo make install

This is quite dangerous. You are installing PA into /usr/local. This
will almost certainly interfere with your distribution's PA version and
generally cause you headaches unless you really know what you are
doing!! In the link above I very specifically do not install PA but keep
it in a separate tree and run it instead of my system one, but in a way
that does not interfere.


But all these warnings aside, you appear to have got it working....

I'm not sure what's going on here or if this is a valid testing procedure.

For example, are you definitely recording from the echo cancel source,
or are you simply recording from the standard mic source.


After launching this pipeline, I'd expect you'll have to move the
recording stream to the right source for it to have any affect.

That said, I've not done much playing with the echo cancel stuff, so
perhaps Arun can advise better than me.
