RbEQ update
Not really an update of the software per se, just letting everyone know I haven't forgotten about it. I have two computers at home; one desktop mainly purposed for gaming and general usage, the other is an older, low-powered notebook that I end up doing most of my development on. In the past few months, things have slowed down with rbeq because both of those systems have been outside of the GNOME environment. That's right, I've moved to KDE4. I know quite a few people who find this odd, but it's because of the new direction that GNOME is taking with G3.0, and I don't necessarily want to be a part of it. I know some of those on the team, and I wish them the best, but the new changes, like Gnome Shell, frighten me off, like the initial releases of KDE4 did for me. I was a long time KDE3.5 user, and when they took the plunge, I got off of the boat. Things have been settling in nicely now at KDE4.3, which I'm running on Kubuntu 9.10.
That being said, I saw that someone was having trouble with the recent release of Ubuntu, and so I thought, as maintainer, I should, well, maintain.
I've got Rhythmbox pulled down onto the laptop, and I'll throw a couple of songs and the plugin on there, to see how everything behaves. Hopefully, there should be an update with some added functionality (saving and loading preferences was a big request) by the end of November.

Hi Christopher,
I’ve been using your plugin for a while now and I like it a lot! Thanks for providing it
If I might suggest something for the new release (although I’m almost sure someone must have proposed this before): I would appreciate an on/off-button for the eq. Right now, one would have to set all controls to zero, or disable the eq completely.
Keep up the good work!

Hi, Chris
thanks for this really simple and useful equalizer plugin. Rhythmbox makes more fun now. Different presets might be useful (or saving the own ones). And, yes, this time installation really was easy.
