[mythtv] [PATCH] time stretch with libsoundtouch

[Dave K. Packham]

Mark.   Nice patch.  Too many speed options the normal WAF to handle.
Something maybe like 125% 150% 175% 200% ranges would make more sense to
the WAF.  Or the same in digits or something....   Just some comments I
heard while demo'ing it to my girls.

yes that is what I used for the control. there is a flag which says
normal or not in nuppelvideoplay::play(). normal means turn audio on
with the appropriate speed factor.

shouldnt this be ok if you just decode I frames and ignore the P and B
ones?
that should reduce the processing by quite a bit. Ill have a look if it
hasnt been done before. but surely it has???
I like the 30sec jump for ad skipping. much faster than scanning. about
3secs to skip an add. auto detect isnt that relable for me.

I also notice that the quality of decode is not as good as on my windows
machine. dark backgrounds get a lot of dark green amongst the nearly
black background. use brightness control to enhance this effect. I think
this must be a rounding error in the video decode routines.
