Ok, that's good to know. I read through the docs on the audio subsystem 
but I was not sure if processing the mic output before passing it to 
GSM would work. However, I read on the hardware mailing list that the 
TI Calypso (GSM chipset) has echo suppression features which seem to be 
unused (or not correctly configured) at the moment. I don't know if 
other GSM handsets implement echo cancellation or if echo suppression 
is sufficient. Does someone know how to modify the qtopia phoneserver 
to send custom AT commands before answering a call? Simply enabling 
echo suppression would be so much less work than implementing an AEC.

Cheers,
