Bug#391480: RFP: yatm -- sound player with speed control



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Package name    : yatm
Version         : 0.4
Upstream Author : Mario Lang <webmaster@delysid.org>
URL             : http://delysid.org/yatm.html
License         : GPL
Programming Lang: C++
Description     : sound player with speed control

>From the web page:

"When listening to recordings of human speech (like audio books,
conference recordings, ...) it can be useful to have the ability
to adjust the playback speed without changing the pitch of the
recording.  This simple command line program based on the
SoundTouch library can do this for you. Playing a audio book at
150% of its original tempo is still intelligable and saves time,
therefore the name of the program."

Some remarks for the future packager:

- maybe yatm-player is a more appropriate package name?

- yatm supports OGG, MP3, FLAC, WAV, ...

- the source has a debian/ directory and even uses CDBS, the deb
  is lintian/linda clean, no wonder: upstream is a DD

- some minor issues, not really limiting the usefulness of the
  program, e.g. option -h documented, but not implemented
