First try to get rid of the feedback and switch to 8 or 16 kHz. If you
see a lot of messages about dropped samples, chances are that the timing
information from your ALSA driver is inaccurate.

It definitely will improve CPU usage. Hopefully echo levels as well. I
think it might be good to spit out a warning for rates >16 kHz, or even
make 16 kHz + mono the default.
