         => Thank you again for your answer Michael but, I think I 
probably didn't expressed my question with the right words. Let's forget 
the file in and the file out to focus only on the filter : 
"anequalizer=c0 f=200 w=100 g=-10 t=0|c1 f=200 w=100 g=-10 t=0"

         => What I want to know, before applying any input signal is the 
result of this mathematical function : f(frequency) = gain. For example, 
this filter is centered on 200 Hz with a bandwith of 100Hz and a gain of 
-10 db. So, all the 200Hz frequencies will be attenuated by -10 db. But 
what for the 250Hz frequencies in the signal ? Still -10 db ? Or -9 ? Or 
-7.5 ? Same question for the 350 Hz frequencies in the signal.

         => The result given like a mathematical function, a cloud of 
dots, an image or anything else that could help me to draw such a graph

         => I wish my question is more clear now.

         => And thank you again for your answers and your help :-)
