You shouldn't unload modules that you didn't load yourself. It's not
necessarily a problem if the echo-cancel module hangs around after your
application has closed its streams, because the echo-cancel module
doesn't consume much resources while it's not being used. A problem
would be if the echo-cancel modules would be leaked, that is, a new
echo-cancel module would be loaded for each stream that you create
without unloading unused modules, but I guess that's not happening?
