As far as I can remember, the "automagic-ness" of ACID relies on some
sort of extra metadata. I think it was embedded in the WAV file, but it
might have been somewhere else.
The point is, if there is such metadata in a clip (e.g. wav), why no use
it? Have an option like "strech clip according to tempo metadata" or the
likes. If I remember your LAC presentation correctly, all resampling is
done "on-the-fly" (modulo some cacheing) so isn't is simply initializing
the 'stretch factor' to a proper value?
2cents for the masses,
Pieter
