+Version: HEAD CVS
+OS: Linux
+OS Details: 
+Status: NEW

+Severity: enhancement

+Summary: Wishlist: Variable-speed playback on any stream
+
+There is a utility for Windows which lets you set the playback speed for
+any windows media window to anywhere between 0.5 and 2.0x the original
+speed.  It's an awesome feature which is especially useful for lectures
+that come on CD/DVD, or for audiobooks.  Very quickly you get used to
+absorbing information at twice the speed, and listening/watching at the
+original speed is just painful.
+
+How hard would it be to add this feature to gst-player, or to the gstreamer
+framework in general?  I am requesting it here with a hope that it will be
+something that you can at least design the APIs/the framework around, for
+future addition, before the system gets completely set in concrete...  Thanks!
