Hi guys.
Ahem. Everybody back on thread, please!!!...
I managed to corral all the libraries needed to compile a LADSPA-enabled aqualung.
It was a challenge, but entirely worth it. Maybe it's in my head only, but the sound
conveyed by this LADSPA-enabled aqualung has more roundess to it and better
spatialization (almost synonym: 3-D stereo).
It's here : aqualung-171113_LADSPA.zip
http://www18.zippyshare.com/v/9KDenQw0/file.html
for the next month.

Point zero:
before you proceed, uninstall any previous version of aqualung.
Then unzip the file in a safe place;
install everything in the directory named "biblios-LADSPA-aqualung", with petget or
by double-clicking on the archives;
lastly, install aqualung-171113_LADSPA.pet. The aqualung executable is in this pet.
Installing the docs, locales and skins pets is optional.
About the aqualung skins: if your aqualung is set to "no-skin" in the preferences
panel, it will use your current GTK2 theme. This may be visually nicer than an actual
aqualung skin. (Or not.)
Reminder: this aqualung was compiled on xenialPup-7. Do not be surprised if it does
not work on other, especially older, Puppies.
Feedback welcome, in particular about the quality of sound LADSPA provides.
For those Linuxians who fell from the Moon yesterday evening and do not know,
"LADSPA" is the acronym for "Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API". It is
used in professional sound studios, believe it or not.
Enjoy.
