Public bug reported:

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

** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu)
