I inteneded, but forgot, to say in the commit message that playgroups
completely supersede the old, per-recording timestretch setting.
Sorry for the confusion.

I don't understand your reluctance to use playgroups.  If all you want
is a timestretch of 1.2 for most of your recordings, that's very easy
to do.  Set up one new playgroup with timestretch set to 120 and
everything else set to (default), and then change your recording rules
to use that playgroup.
