Not sure about audio quality (that seems like crap), but I did see large demand by Songbird users in the past.

From what I've seen, very few people use (or even know how to use properly) an equaliser. I would prefer it simply added to the main repos and let interrested users install it if they want it.

If a program wants the equaliser there, that's what dependencies are for.

Seriously everyone uses the eq in winamp windows. You don't need to know how to use it because of the presets.

Actually, I do agree with Darwin Survivor pererik87. You do realise that music COMES pre-equalised right.. The presets are a gimmick. Some people do have uses for equalisers, but the vast majority don't know how to use them properly.

Anyway, my thoughts is that there should be a "pulseaudio addons" manager accessible from the sound settings in preferences.

Of course all music is pre-equalized but that doesn't eliminate the use of an equalizer when you are listening on your pc. For instance, my system has too much low end for my liking so I like to adjust the EQ. Every sound system is different and will not sound like the sound system that the audio was mastered on. I know this because I am have experience working in studios and live events. One thing every legit venue has is an EQ.
