Hi, Jos. Thanks for writing daisy-player. It looks quite good to me.
I find that a lot of vision impaired people like to speed up podcasts
and audio books. This is a feature I would be happy to help add to
daisy-player. I wrote a simple C library called sonic which can speed
up or slow down speech with fairly low distortion. It's best
attribute is low distortion at high speed up factors of 2X or more.
It looks like I need to modify madplay, to enable speeding up of
speech as an option, which should not be too hard. I'll post to their
dev list to see if I the author is interested in including the
capability.
