I'm not sure how it differs, but the time shrink/stretch stuff in
the Snd <http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/> open source
program seems quite a bit better to my ear than do the other open
source time stretchers familiar in the Linux audio world.  This
could just be my acoustic memory failing me, but I've had this
same impression several times now.

Best-o-luck....
