In the present implementation of Volumio, all the DAC drivers get installed by default. When you configure, you select the DAC board you are using. The rest of the drivers remain active but unused.
When the Equaliser plugin is disabled, it resets the DAC selection and defaults to the first DAC driver available. Now the player has to be restarted after selecting the DAC. This takes time.
Can we program it such that once a DAC or DACS are selected, only that/those drivers remain in Volumio. Now when EQ setting is changed, it will fallback to the only DAC it has, and there will be no need for a restart.
