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 _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
