The Speex echo canceller was designed to cancel room echoes. It is a 
poor choice to cancel hybrid echo. Try OSLEC. That is designed for 
hybrid echoes.

Really? Do you call the same number every time, and through the same 
delay path?

It isn't a show stopper if this in not a capability, but in the event my system or software was reset, it would be nice to not have to reconverge every time (i.e. intialize the adaptive filter to a non-zero state).
The far end hybrid and telephone is a big part of your total echo, so 
you will need to readapt each time. The last set of coefficients may not 
even be a very good starting point for readaption.
