Yes, correct.

Well, I was using a rather low-end PC recently and noticed that qpaeq was
causing stuttering audio and audio hickups in some circumstances. This might
have been caused by the low-end hardware, but on the other hand, the Realtek
equalizer which is built into the Realtek Control Panel on Microsoft Windows
does not produce such issues when using the same hardware.

So this was somewhat frustrating.

Also, it's annoying that every time you reboot your PC, you have to launch
qpaeq to bring your equalizer settings back.

No, not really.

Yes, I understand your confusion.

Anyway, since Alexander E. Patrakov was saying:

I tried out another PulseAudio equalizer today, the one from 
psyke83, it also uses LADSPA and mbeq, see:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308838

It seems to work fine (using it on a high-end Core i7-6700K at the moment
though). And it actually even saves it's settings between reboots.

But on the other hand, there's also another thread which seems to suggest that
qpaeq would have a better quality than mbeq, see:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1378087

Is that correct?

And since Alexander E. Patrakov said that LADSPA + mbeq would be a better than
qpaeq, why don't you just make psyke83's equalizer the official PulseAudio
equalizer and integrate that one into pavucontrol?

Regards
