Equalizer doesn't work!

[siladitya.dey]

Hi,

I am facing a problem when i am trying to enable the equalizer with any setting. It gives an error message as follows:

equalizer: rate not supported
main: cannot add user filter equalizer (skipped)

Also below-mentioned are the logs for starting up of VLC, assigning a song to be played in it and then going to the Window>>Equalizer to enable it (and subsequently failing):

I a using VLC0.8.6c for Mac OS x. I have the Tiger (10.4.10) installed on a MacBook Intel C2D 2.2GHz. Looking for some solutions.

==================

!!!!!! HOWEVER ..... my equalizer appears to be working (tone controls at least).
I only get this error when I check the "ENABLE" box and/or the "2-PASS" box.

So maybe the "error" reporting is itself simply a redundant message, and the Equalizer is actually "working" ?

Am running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 (Build 85165)
