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? -- Tanu
