When echo cancel is enabled, we now fail the pipeline if there is
not echo probe. For this reason there is no need to check if probe
pointer is set anymore.
The saved timestamp is used to compute the delay of the probe data.
As it's used at the following incoming buffer, it needs to be offset
with the duration of the buffer to represent the end position. Also,
properly initialize the saved timestamp and protect against TIME_NONE.
Until now, we were synchronizing both DSP and Probe adapter by
waiting and clipping the probe adapter data. This increases the CPU
usage, can cause copies if the audio is not 10ms aligned and the worst
is that it prevents the processing from compensating for inaccurate
latency. This is also a step forward toward supporting playback
filters.
This DSP library can be used to enhance voice signal for real time
communication call. In implements multiple filters like noise reduction,
high pass filter, echo cancellation, automatic gain control, etc.
The webrtcdsp element can be used along, or with the help of the
webrtcechoprobe if echo cancellation is enabled. The echo probe should
be placed as close as possible to the audio sink, while the DSP is
generally place close to the audio capture. For local testing, one can
use an echo loop pipeline like the following:
autoaudiosrc ! webrtcdsp ! webrtcechoprobe ! autoaudiosink
This pipeline should produce a single echo rather then repeated echo.
Those elements works if they are placed in the same top level pipeline.
