Well, with ladspa one could always make a tempo edit plugin, which would
allow one to change the tempo of a sound file that's had the ladspa effect
applied. I'm not good enough at c/c++ yet to do that, but ladspa seems to
be pretty wide open in terms of the types of effects that could be
created. I would think that the functionality in Recyle could be cloned in
a ladspa plugin, that way many diverse systems could use the plugin
without having to change the UI, as the Acid functionality with "painting
in audio" is more of a convenience, the real functionality is its ability
to match tempo and pitch of disparate samples. Its really just a time
shifting effect that changes tempo without changing pitch.
