I think, Soundtouch uses a Fourier-based approach. Granular synthesis
isn't really the best method of clean time stretching, I just
mentioned it as one example of a technique, that can be used to do
extreme streches. 

BTW, one of the beautifullest examples of extreme stretching isn't
Jane Fonda, but the "Beetstretch" project of Leif Inge:
http://www.notam02.no/9/ who stretched Beethoven's 9th Symphony -
which originally is about 1 hour - to be 24 hours long. The
audio-files are several gigabytes large, an obvious use case for
Bittorrent.

Maybe Kjetil would elaborate a bit, how this was done, as I read that
he was involved in the Beetstretch? 

ciao
