Good question. But not that easy to answer. As far as I am aware
the echo cancellation and noise reduction are done by the DSP inside
the Calypso. We don't have documentation for this part. Additionally
this DSP has its code in ROM and only patches are applied to it by
the GSM firmware (of course no sources for this part ;-).

So there is only the "trial-and-error" approach to find out what
the DSP can do regarding audio and if it can do more than what
is already available.

BTW, some audio analog part (e.g. amplification) is done by the
TLW3014 and besides the echo cancellation and noise reduction
there are also digital filters (FIR) in the audio path where the
coefficients can all be set.
