Would it be worth adding bs2b (Label Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural) to easyeffects as a plugin?

I saw that this feature was included within strawberry music player, and that it's supposed to help reduce audio fatigue. Would this be beneficial to add to easyeffects as a plugin for active processing of speaker sound?

We already use it in our crossfeed plugin

easyeffects/src/crossfeed.cpp

Line 119 in ce1df49

bs2b.cross_feed(data.data(), n_samples);

What is the best place to add crossfeed in the filter chain for headphones? Is the default option bs2b?

Which preset would you recommend for crossfeed?

Would you recommend anything be done differently in this filter chain for headphones?
The stereo tools at the bottom is for stereo base as recommended from the notebook speakers guide, is that compatible if turned on along with crossfeed?

This plugin uses only bs2b as backend.

Which preset would you recommend for crossfeed?

The crossfeed aims to reduce the fatigue stereo sounds can cause when using headphones for a long time. So the ideal values are the ones that make you feel like you can listen to the headphones for longer with less fatigue.

Hum... As both will insert a little of mono signal in the original stereo input there may be a little of conflict. I would try just the crossfeed first.
