My answer was based on reading the source code, and it seemed like module-equalizer-sink stores some database in ~/.config/pulse/equalizer-presets, and based on the file name, that seemed like the place where the presets live. I now looked at the contents of the files in https://github.com/rsommerard/pulse-presets and it's clear that those preset files aren't used with qpaeq/module-equalizer-sink. The database that module-equalizer-sink uses is not in text format, but the rsommerard presets are text files. The files contain the string "mbeq_1197", which is an identifier for a ladspa eq plugin. Apparently the presets are meant to be used with some program that sets up module- ladspa-sink in pulseaudio. I don't know what program that is. -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
