What I have observed is...

Scenario 1 (not working):

1.1 Start playback.
1.2 Enable equalizer filter
1.3 Stop playback.
1.4 Start playback.

The equalizer filter is disabled.

Scenario 2 (working):

2.1 Enable equalizer filter.
2.2 Start playback.
2.3 Stop playback
2.4 Start playback

The equalizer filter remains enabled the whole time.

Repeat 2.3 and 2.4 as many times as you like and it still works.

So...

1. If you enable the equalizer filter *after* you start playback, it will
'forget' to keep the equalizer enabled after you stop/start.

2. If you enable the equalizer filter *before* you start playback, it will
'remember' and keep the filter enabled even after you stop/start the media
multiple times.

I'm still working on finishing this patch, but right now I'm unsure what to
do about this particular problem.
