+Alsaequal is a real-time adjustable equalizer plugin for ALSA. It
+can be adjusted using an ALSA compatible mixer, like alsamixergui
+or alsamixer.
+
+For example, add the following line to /etc/asound.conf
+
+ctl.equal {
+    type equal;
+}
+
+pcm.plugequal {
+    type equal;
+    slave.pcm "plughw:0,0";
+}
+
+pcm.equal{
+    type plug;
+    slave.pcm plugequal;
+}
+
+you can now adjust the 10 band equaliser using
+
+    alsamixer -D equal
+
+and then play using
+
+    aplay -D equal some_audio.wav
+
+By default alsaequal uses the 10 band equaliser (Eq10) from the alsa
+ladspa plugin caps.  You can bypass alsaequal and directly use caps in
+/etc/asound.conf. This can be useful if you want to fix the equaliser
+settings.
+
+Add the following lines to /etc/asound.conf to add a fixed 10 band
+equaliser setup to attenuate frequencies below 500Hz
+
+pcm.plugequal_fixed {
+    type equal;
+    slave.pcm "plughw:0,0";
+}
+
+pcm.equal_fixed {
+    type ladspa
+    slave.pcm plugequal_fixed;
+    path "/usr/lib/ladspa";
+    plugins [{
+        label Eq10
+        input {
+            # bands (Hz)   31   63   125  250  500  1000 2000 4000 8000 16000
+            controls     [ -48  -48  -48  -48  -48  0    0    0    0    0     ]
+        }
+    }]
+}
