SIP SIMPLE client is a Python software library that allows for easy development of Internet communications end-points based on SIP and related protocols for voice, rich presence, session based instant messaging (IM), file transfers and desktop sharing. Other media types can be easily added by using an extensible high-level API. SIP SIMPLE client uses "PJSIP media library":http://www.pjsip.org/pjmedia/docs/html/index.htm for audio processing (sound card abstraction, audio codec and acoustic echo cancellation).

For more information see http://sipsimpleclient.ag-projects.com. The project is maintained by AG Projects that can provide help to the developer to integrate its AEC implementation.

The present implementation of the Acoustic Echo Canceller from PJSIP media library is not performing to the desired level of quality. Practically, the speakerphone function is not performing satisfactory. The result is that the software phone cannot be used without a head-set, which make people use proprietary applications like Skype or Google Talk.

Replace the existing AEC from Pjmedia library based on speex  (what is displayed as echo.h in the above diagram whihc employes the AEC of the speex project) with Andree Adrian AEC implementation now available in Pulse Audio server.

PulseAudio contain this echo canceler re-written in C in latest git repository in src/modules/echo-canceller/

A previous attempt to integrated this echo-canceler, is attached. It should be used just for an example of integrating a new canceler into pjmedia, the actual code should be taken from pulse audio.
