Dear Ma and Pa Intainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Getting rid of pulseaudio and replacing pulseffects with easyeffects.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Unlike pulseeffects, the easyeffect GUI do not have a visible label
telling which user preset is in use - this could be deemed trivial
but is a genuine PITA, even with only a dozen of presets (and I
have at least 2 dozens more to setup).

As my presets almost all use the same effects, I have to systematically
re-select the one I want as there is no meaning to know what is already
in use.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

I cursed the dev in 5 (ancient) languages and made voodoo upon his git.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

A visible reminder for a software that leaves you define your own presets,
which existed before it's name changed, is just common sens…

Thanks for maintaining this SW anyway.

Cheers,

Jean-Yves
