Mmmm... Could be a very improvement for the sound streching. I've some
problem with SoundTouch (compiling and latency issues)... So I'm
interested... but from what I can see from the project page, there is a
"donate" form but no CVS or code package!!!!! This is quite strange IMHO...
I hope in the future.
