Comment(by danielmewes):

 I am using the Neo1973 with ASU and modified the
 /ust/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state to the attached state file
 and was able to strongly reduce (however not totally eliminate) the echo
 and also generally increasing the sound quality.

 I do not remember what exactly I changed, but a diff should reveal this.
 As far as I remember regarding the echo I especially had to change:
 1. Mono 2 Mux from Inverted Mono 1 to Right
 2. Mono Sidetone Playback Volume to 0 (interestningly, there is still some
 sidetone on the Neo. Perhaps both the modem and the sound card generate
 one??)

 But I am not sure if those changes are sufficient or I changed another
 important thing (just went through the mixer while a call was on and tried
 to change nearly every control). Please look into the attached file, if
 this alone should not help.

 This however is more a dirty-but-working-hack, since I did not look into
 how the sound is actually wired inside the Neo and what exactly all the
 controls are meaning.
