In general, to start with, you should pick a recording of voice rather
than music since that's the sort of echo that is designed to be
cancelled. I've noticed varying degrees of success for music with speex
and much better success with the webrtc canceller, but starting with the
basics is better.

Also, if you're hitting trouble with double-resampling, you could
resample the file to what the canceller sink supports before doing your
test.
