"The Echo family also can't stream audio continually, the CPU is not very powerful and the sheer bandwidth required would be enough for anyone tech savvy to notice."
What is the bandwidth required to stream speech? I remember reading back in the old days that speech only required 8k of bandwidth. Now with codecs that do efficient compression of speech, like Speex[1] and Opus[2], I expect that figure should be much improved.
Are you really going to notice an 8k increase in your bandwith usage?
