No, my equalizer is merely a "wrapper" script that takes advantage of PulseAudio's module-ladspa-sink module (which has been included by PulseAudio for quite some time, but only stable since the 0.9.19 series) with an EQ LADSPA plugin. The script works by removing/(re)inserting the aforementioned module with the equalization parameters on a running server via pacmd, and optionally saving such configuration to the users's ~/.pulse/default.pa configuration file. Although Chandru linked to the source, there are also packages available (for Lucid and Karmic) if anybody is interested. See here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308838 Directly link to my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~psyke83/+archive/ppa It was also included in Fedora 12's repository (though I am not the maintainer). > Also, this should be packaged and submitted for inclusion into the > Ubuntu repositories following procedure > (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages). I replied directly to Chandru on this issue without awareness of this thread, so let me now copy & paste to the list (and I'd be interested to know if there's still any demand for the submission): --- Hi, Getting pulseaudio-equalizer included into Lucid would have been ideal, but due to lack of time and problems with my development machine, I didn't get to make the submission before the freeze deadline. Moving forward, I'm not so sure that the equalizer has a long future in its current incarnation; the latest PulseAudio upstream code (non-stable branch) includes a native equalizer [1] which offers better quality than what can be provided through my equalizer (which uses a LADSPA plugin). So, for Lucid+1, perhaps there is potential to take the GUI part of my pulseaudio-equalizer code and adapt it to be used by the native PulseAudio equalizer. My GUI is GTK-based, whereas the native equalizer only has a QT-based interface available (pqaeq). There's nothing wrong with QT, but GTK-based applications would be preferred for the regular Ubuntu (i.e., GNOME-based) desktop flavour. Let's wait and see what happens. Thanks, Conn [1] This branch may be obsolete now that the equalizer is included upstream by default - I haven't followed developments recently.
