But
mplayer -af scaletempo -speed 1.2 yourfile.mp3

A friend of mine was telling me how he listens to
his speech podcasts
on his iPod at faster than natural playback speeds. I'd like to do
this with an audio file player which can do the same on Linux. Which
one(s) should I investigate? Of course, I want the original pitch at
any playback speed.
If you don't mind command line stuff, mplayer has playback speed control:
INTERACTIVE CONTROL
MPlayer has a fully configurable, command-driven control
layer which
allows you to control MPlayer using keyboard, mouse, joystick or
remote
control (with LIRC). See the -input option for ways to
customize it.
keyboard control
<- and ->
Seek backward/forward 10 seconds.
up and down
Seek forward/backward 1 minute.
pgup and pgdown
Seek forward/backward 10 minutes.
[ and ]
Decrease/increase current playback speed by 10%.
{ and }
Halve/double current playback speed.
backspace
Reset playback speed to normal.
