load-ladspa

Simple desktop file and shell script to load and unload ladspa sound device on pulseaudio

LADSPA compresses the dynamic range, which keeps the loud and quiet closer together.

Installation steps:

1. place the desktop file (desktop/give-me-quiet.desktop) on the desktop ($HOME/Desktop)
2. place load-ladspa (bin/load-ladspa) on your path (echo $PATH, I suggest $HOME/bin)
3. install the compressor (see below)
