Package: libasound2-plugin-equal
Version: 0.6-4
Severity: important

'alsamixer -D equal' gives this error:
ALSA lib control.c:951:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL equal
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

This is resolved by creating a file: ~/.asoundrc
More details can be found from the original creators web site as to the

it.
