The name was decided to follow the libasound2-plugins package naming scheme, so
I think that before renaming alsaequal, this should maybe be discussed with the
ALSA maintainers (I added jordi to CC since he has been doing alsa-plugins
uploads, and since the ALSA Maintainers mailing list seems to be mostly spam).

TBH I'm not really sure if following the alsa-plugins naming scheme actually
makes sense, and personally I would be okay with a rename.

Cheers
