I think there might be some audio multiplexing libraries (that takes
audio output of different apps and mixes them together into one stream to 
send to the audio hardware); GNOME/Enlightement at least has one, called
esd or esound I think. Since audio multiplexing is a very good feature, so
is an equalizer, therefore I think building the two together (or at least
making connecting them together simple) is worth the effort.

They also have a wrapper library one can preload to provide this
functionality to 'normal' apps.
