[FFmpeg-user] Using convolution files with ffmpeg

[Ran Perry]

 You can read more about it here:

In essence, these are files that were made via a room correction application. You can look at them as digital equalization. When passed to ffmpeg, the audio output will reflect the change attribute in the convolution file. ffmpeg works with these type of file but the user requires to explicitly pass this information. What I am trying to do is to use these convolution files in a global setting without the need for the user to pass them manually each and every time.
Many solutions support this feature out of the box but they are not open source (even if they use ffmpeg).
I have uploaded convolution files to the following link for reference:

Thanks,
Ran

What is a convolution file? When you get a venue with a weird frequency response and you come in before the sound check to record spectrum sweeps from the speakers with a figure 8 mic, the tool had a convolution function that would generate a model of the venue that served as a general starting point for mixing, is it something similar?
