Title:
  pulseaudio should be compiled by default with noice cancelling and
  echo reduction

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In other OSs either the system itself or the sound drivers provide
  settings to enable noise reduction and echo cancellation. However in
  pulseaudio it has to be manually compiled in.

  It's a feature that should be a standard, and don't come with such a
  pain to enable, as I believe it would of very useful to provide by
  default.

  To implement this a dependency to Webrtc library should be added, as
  well as a couple of configuration lines:

  
  In debian/rules file, go to ~line 57 and add "--enable-webrtc-aec" to DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS (say after the --disable-hal-compat option)

  In debian/pulseaudio.install file and add: usr/lib/pulse-*/modules
  /libwebrtc-util.so

  Enable webrtc plugin in /etc/pulse/default.pa: sudo gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa
  ### Load echo cancellation module
  load-module module-echo-cancel source_name=echosource aec_method=webrtc
  set-default-source echosource
