The EQ library comes as a static library. Would there be any reason not to make this a shared object instead?

Because they dont want it to be shared between multiple applications? It was only intended for one application to use it, so why bother making it shared?

But as a static lib i have to recompile showeq everytime it changes. If its a shared object, I can generally just swap inthe new libEQ.so and be done with it. Just a minor annoyance on slower machines.

If libEQ changes, you're going to have to recompile anyway... something necessitated the change in libEQ, so it's a good bet a lot of the code for SEQ itself has changed.
