You will get smooth, continuous sound output if, and probably only if, the sound card at the very end of the processing chain sets the speed. If you try to force some speed somewhere else you will get buffers overfilling or sound gaps. You will have to find a way that every task involved in the processing will wait until its data is taken. mplayer -ao pcm:file=output.fifo conforms to this requirement. It plays exactly at the speed at which output.fifo is read by some other process. > so could start like that : > > mplayer -slave sound.mp3 > > Equalizer and speed can be modified in slave mode ?
