+equal is a real-time adjustable equalizer plugin for ALSA. It can be
+adjusted using an ALSA compatible mixer like alsamixergui or alsamixer.
+
+Alsaequal uses the Eq CAPS LADSPA Plugin as it's default equalizer
+but you can change it to use almost any LADSPA plugin like mbeq from
+the swh-plugin package. Though alsaequal is primarily intended to be
+used as an equalizer you should be able to use it to control any
+LADSPA plugin. It's similar in functionality to the LADSPA plugin
+provided with ALSA but allows for real-time controls as opposed to
+static controls defined in the asoundrc file.
+
+See the included asoundrc.example in the docs directory for ways of
+setting up alsa.
