In praise of ALSA and alsaequal

After a long overdue apt-get upgrade, I am now the happy owner of one more volume slider in alsamixer: headphone.

On a related note, 'alsaequal', a graphic equaliser for ALSA is a really under appreciated tool. I have set it to my default alsa device through .asoundrc:

Code:
ctl.equal {
        type equal;
}

pcm.plugequal {

One issue that had been bugging me for a while - not that problematic, but an issue nonetheless - I have Fedora 14 - because modern distros search for and load modules in parallel to speed up the boot process, the result is that the order in which modules will be loaded becomes unpredictable.

The fix is quite simple:

Gaming: Learning to play HL well

Posted 02-20-2010 at 07:05 AM by Web31337 (In The Middle Of Nowhere [edK's blog])

As you might previously seen in my posts, Half-Life is the only game I used to play when I have free time. Or, when I'm tired. 'course I'm playing it under wine.
So, the funny thing about Half-Life Deathmatch I've found out so far: it is played mostly by interesting people. I mean the ones that actually know how to play.
Most of them used to play AG(Adrenaline Gamer) HL mod which usually defines them as hardcore professionals in this game. So when they come to play regular HLDM it...
