It's not clear what themuso was referring to back in 2012, but as nevion alluded to above, qpaeq is 'just' a Python program. It's the GUI required (absent equivalent software) for the end-user to do something useful with the capability exposed by the modules (which do come stock, but aren't loaded by default).
See: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/plain/src/utils/qpaeq Perhaps the problematic dependency back then was PyQt4 or sip? Or not, this is what's known as "unfounded speculation" on my part. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932834 Title: Enable equalizer Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “pulseaudio” source package in Precise: Won't Fix Status in “pulseaudio” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “pulseaudio” source package in Raring: Triaged Bug description: pulseaudio has support for built in equalizer, but ubuntu does not have enabled it. pulseudio provides module module-equalizer-sink which needs to be enabled at compile time. In src/Makefile.am is this code: if HAVE_DBUS if HAVE_FFTW modlibexec_LTLIBRARIES += \ module-equalizer-sink.la bin_SCRIPTS += utils/qpaeq endif endif So for equalizer module is needed package fftw-dev. Please add needed fftw packages to pulseaudio build depends for equalizer support.
