enable L1_NEW_AEC in l1_confg.h (bold change)
The AEC function implemented in DSP ROM 3606 on the Calypso silicon
we work with is the one that corresponds to L1_NEW_AEC; the same holds
for DSP 34 and even for DSP 33 with more recent patch versions.
However, TI shipped their TCS211 reference fw with L1_NEW_AEC set to 0,
thus driving AEC the old way if anyone tried to enable it, either via
AT%Nxxxx or via the audio mode facility. As a result, the fw would
try to control features which no longer exist in the DSP (long vs short
echo and the old echo suppression level bits), while providing no way
to tune the 8 new parameter words added to the DSP's NDB page.
The only sensible solution is to bite the bullet and enable L1_NEW_AEC
in L1 config, with fallout propagating into RiViera Audio Service
T_AUDIO_AEC_CFG structure and into /aud/*.cfg binary file format.
The latter fallout will be addressed in further code changes.

FC Tourmaline stdmodem functional configuration is equivalent to Magnetite hybrid. The only intentional diff from Magnetite to Tourmaline in the modem configuration is the change of Nucleus: Magnetite uses the blob version of Nucleus which came with TCS211-20070608, whereas Tourmaline uses the source version of Nucleus by Comrade XVilka. It is essentially a change from an unknown version of Nucleus to a known one, thus it should generally be considered an improvement - but as always with such changes, extensive verification and testing needs to be done in order to ensure that nothing got broken. Aside from the one intentional change of Nucleus version, FC Tourmaline is an entirely new firmware source tree, thus it is always possible that something could have got broken unintentionally, particularly in rarely-tested areas of the firmware. Therefore, extensive testing will need to be done before we can declare Tourmaline stdmodem as officially replacing Magnetite hybrid for stable modem products.
