The original Blackbox development seems to have stagnated, and it would be nice if Blackbox could be upgraded.
I do not know how the current Blackbox package is built and whether 'bbkeys' (which provides keyboard shortcuts) is included with the source. In this forked version 'bbkeys' is not included, and it has to be obtained separately from http://bbkeys.sourceforge.net/

The Slackware blackbox package makes a bundle, bbkeys was not included in the previous source of blackbox either (which you can check in the source directory of the Slackware tree.) I prefer to make two separate packages but that is not a major design decision
didn't know that there was some gui shipped with pulse audio, what is qpaeq?
It's a graphical equalizer program. I tried it with PA version 10.x: it adversely affected performance, and I couldn't get any help to make it work better. To make it work you had to add configuration options to the default.pa file.
