It will not. The echo cancellation module is meant for things like voip
calls. For example, if you're using speakers and a mic, whatever the
other end says goes back through the mic, and they will be hear
themselves after a short gap. That's the echo we're trying to cancel.

So the goal is for the *far end* to not hear echo. It will not make a
difference locally.

Cheers,
