Including a system-wide pulseaudio equalizer

The default media players in Ubuntu, though quite capable do not have graphical equalizers. Rather than including an equalizer in every application, having a system wide equalizer can be very handy especially when playing online videos. I've been using

My suggestion was to just get the app into the official repos initially. Based on Daniel's reply I've sent a mail to the developer suggesting him to submit the application. If users find it useful they'd at least be able to install and use it easily. -- Chandra Sekar.S On Tue, May 11, 2010 at

Including a system-wide eq sounds great and all, but it's probably more difficult than what it initially seems. Especially considering the variety of codecs and output configs and methods that we all have running. eg. gstreamer, xine, vlc, mplayer, xmms just to name a few. So I can't see how a

How about formatting your flash drive as FAT and use it everywhere without ACL mess? =) Alternativly you might be able to achieve this with cunning DeviceKit / PolicyKit rules. I don't see how this can be useful as FUSE because it will be one more hurdle to jump. Also I don't understand how

I don't see what FUSE would have to do with anything. The UDF filesystem has the ability to not store the uid on the media, instead writing a uid of -1, which it then can map to the currently logged in interactive user that mounted the disc later. This feature was created specifically to solve

I would just like to throw my two cents in and express my own disapproval of PulseAudio. It's clunky and hard to configure, and personally I think it rather tries to do too much at once, and by so doing is latent. I would not miss it if it were removed from Ubuntu in favor of something more
