include a graphical equalizer for audio and audio streams. i can't get some live recordings to sound right on my xbox without it.

equilizer would definitely be nice i agree,
i would also like to see a volume levelizer of some sort. i.e. a preset volume adjustment level so all files sound about the same overall. sometimes videos i have will have a very low volume level and i crank up the stereo, and others i gotta really turn it down because the audio in the file blasts. something that will sample a user preset number of points at equal intervals (maybe leave the default at 12 or 15 times? more samples are slower and more accurate and less is quicker type thing), average the sound level of output and change the db amplification of the audio based on the resulting number. this way were not getting blasted at times when switching from a generally low volume clip to a generally high volume clip.
on the same topic of volume i liked adjusting volume in percentage better than by db personally.

for audio files, use replaygain, which xbmc takes advantage of.
for video files, you are out of luck.

why? there's no particular need for it - just have the volume down lower.
if you really want to set it, look in settings.xml (in e:\tdata\0face008). values are 0 (default), 6 and 12.

personally, i subscribe to the idea of not fiddling with the signals. no tone adjustment, no equilization. imho your better off buying or building your own speakers to get proper quality audio than trying to fiddle around with some dinky adjuster that will never mask problems with poor quality gear anyway.
if your at the point of having real time measurements of the audio spectrum in your living room while playing pink noise you can certainly afford to buy one of the real equilizars sold in ht shops.

i seconds caldor's opinion.
whatever it is that would be implemented in xbmc would never truely compensate for having bad audio setup.
on the other hand, it definitely has the potential of screwing up certain aspects of the audio output which we currently enjoy.
