Exaile equalizer has no effect on sound

[ivotron]

Hi,

I'm running Xubuntu Hardy Beta and have Exaile 0.2.13 installed. When I click on the 'enable equalizer' checkbox, the sound isn't modified at all. I have tried this with no sound servers, with JACK and lastly I installed PulseAudio since that's Hardy's default on both, Ubuntu and Xubuntu.

Running Exaile on the terminal shows that (apparently) everything is fine:

So, I don't know what else can be done. Have any one else had this problem?

Thanks much

Problem: In Hardy, gstreamer changed its API.

Solution: Install the bzr version or wait until the next official .deb from exaile.org
