A possible alternative for linux systems is to use ecasound. I am configuring my system as stereo with two full range three way speakers (two cbt36k's and two subwoofers) with dsp crossover and equalization. A large free selection of dsp filters are available for ecasound. For an example see -

One problem is that Kodi does not allow piping the audio output to another application. I am getting around that problem by using a Xonar D2 sound card with s/pdif input and output. Kodi audio output is sent to the s/pdif output and the s/pdif output is connected (coax) to the s/pdif input. Ecasound then takes the stream from the s/pdif input and applies the audio processing (see link above) and then sends the processed audio to the analog output of the sound card or the hdmi output of my video card (hdmi output is going to a surround sound preamp). After I get everything working I will document it and make the documentation available.
