[Freeswitch-users] Hardware echo cancellation.

Disagree somewhat.  The challenge that echo cancellers further from the
hardware face is having some idea of the size of the buffers between the
canceller and the wire; provided that this is known, or is small in
comparison to the canceller's tail length, it can, in principle, go
anywhere.  All other things being equal, the right place for a software
EC is in user space: can be done in a cross-platform way, can use
FPU/MMX/SSE without guilt and voodoo, etc.  And there is no reason why
the same algorithm would perform differently if implemented in
"hardware" or on the host CPU.

And the OP only needed four E1s..
