Well it is a 30 bands eq more like
http://www.klarkteknik.com/images/content/products/product_shots/dn360/dn360-front.jpg
it just misses the first (31st) 20Hz band.

The low frequency is more than inaccurate, actually the bands act a
little higher (as far as 1/3 octave) and 31.5 and 50Hz bands *doesn't
act at all* (as reported in bug #1397685).
I've not been able yet to understand the code behind as it seems pretty
tied to the hdeq.

Is there a way to get an hand on it? I'd be very interested to read it.
