Sorry, I was mostly heading off an argument I've had here before; the
reply wasn't directed specifically at you.

Yes, sensible.  There are currently no direct EQ hooks (although the
feature is not an unreasonable one; it does save time to do it in the
codec).  However, you can have access to the pre-quantization PCM data
in flaot form using ov_read_float, and multiply/normalize amplitude
there.  You would have to perform your own integer quantization
afterward.
