RBEQ 1.4 – GStreamer Presets
ATTENTION
Note: This project is still in progress. Please travel to the Google Code Project for more.
Just when you thought it was safe…
1.4 of the RBEQ, the Rhythmbox Equalizer, is out and ready for download. The big change here is a switch from storing presets in a flat file to using the GStreamer Preset system. As always, downloads are at RBEQ Google Code.
A big thanks to Stefan Kost, who left this gem of a comment on the 1.3 release posting:
Any reason, you are not using the presets shipped with the gstreamer plugin?
Look at /usr/share/gstreamer-0.10/presets/GstIirEqualizer10Bands.prs and the GstPreset interface.
Users can install own presets to $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/presets/
Since I didn’t know anything about them, after looking at the aforementioned docs, I’ve gotten things so that they use the GStreamer Preset interface, and it is more well-behaved.
Also a big thanks to Hicham HAOUARI, whose awesome work has gotten RBEQ into Fedora! That’s awesome; I was nearly flabbergasted when I saw that. Thank you for the support!
Comments and bug issues are always welcome; please let me know what you find while using it.

It is still possible to run multiple instance of the equalizer which is (to me) confusing. The gui isn’t as neat as Banshee’s and there is no way to quickly deactivate it. http://abock.org/blog-images/banshee-eq.png
Finally, as I wrote in a previous post, we use kHz and not KHz. I hope you’ll take this into consideration.
Keep up the good work!
Feature Request!
Can you have it auto-set the combobox to the currently selected pre-set? I keep getting confused, thinking it didn’t save my choice because it is always set to preset.
It could even change to – modified if the user changes one of the bands.
