[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH v4 02/23] echo-cancel: Allow enabling the extended filter in webrtc AEC

[arun at accosted.net]

From: Arun Raghavan <git at arunraghavan.net>

This creates a longer filter that is more complex and less sensitive to
incorrect delay reporting from the hardware. There is also a
delay-agnostic mode that can eventually be enabled if required.

In some very quick testing, not enabling this seems to provide better
results during double-talk.
