Equalizer
MPlayer allows you to apply the equalizer filter which represents a 10 octave band graphic equalizer. The filter has 10 parameters:
g1:g2:g3…g10
which are floating point numbers between -12 and +12 representing the gain in dB for the respective frequency band.
Equalizer settings for Rock would be applied as follows:
$> mplayer -af equalizer=-1:1:2:3:-1:-1:0:0:4:4 song.mp3
Plugin
Since MPlayer seems to be panacea for handling the numerous media formats, enabling MPlayer to work with the browser to handle embedded media seems to be the next step. To enable MPlayer play digital media from websites all you need is the mplayerplug-in.
Happy Streamin…
