I was wondering if there was any way to control individual levels of
sound frequency by using the sound driver. It is similar to using bass
and treble, but I want to have greater control over the frequencies. I
want to write a program similar to an equalizer. Or would I have to
rewrite the device driver to do this.

Most cards don't support stuff like this, so you'd have to either re-write
the driver or write some app that would only work on the cards that can
handle it. I think it'd be a great feature to put in the driver. Actually,
I have a lot of ideas for the driver (e.g. merge tiMIDIty into /dev/midi for
those of us without wavetable, have some level (in the driver or a lib) of
support for multichannel sound for those of us without /dev/gus, maybe add
mpeg to the types of audio that can be used, etc.).

Experimental wavetable support for non-wavetable cards is available in the
commercial sound driver, OSS/Linux, from which the kernel sound driver
(OSS/Free) is derived. This experimental wavetable support is called SoftOSS.
I've found it works with xgmod quite well. I've got an ESS AudioDrive ESS1688
in my machine and I'm capable of using wavetable nearly effortlessly.
