[Haifux] Technion video

[Ohad Lutzky]

The "X2 velocity" terminology is confusing, let's try and set it straight:
What students want to do is watch videos at increased speed, without
affecting pitch (usually speeding up playback of audio causes pitch to rise,
which causes a "chipmunk voice" effect). There are several libraries for
Linux which increase audio speed without affecting pitch, the best-known
being libsoundtouch. To my knowledge, libsoundtouch has no been formally
incorporated into any media player. However, there is a relatively new
project called ScaleTempo (http://scaletempo.sh.net) which provides this
capability for several media players, including VLC (into which the patch
has formally been accepted). Please test a ScaleTempo-enabled version of
whatever media player is currently used to view Technion video (vlc, if I'm
not mistaken).
