There are actually some internal problems when you slow the "tape" down
too far - you get some digital aliasing. Should be fixed, but these things
take time. If people submit sound-quality bug reports those things get
moved up my todo list, and there are things on my todo list that have been
there for a year or more, so dont hold your breath :(

typos, but homefully you can make out what I meant.
