## Description

### Example pipelines

Scale tempo while maintaining pitch (WSOLA-like technique with cross correlation) Inspired by SoundTouch library by Olli Parviainen

Use Sceletempo to apply playback rates without the chipmunk effect.

    filesrc location=media.ext ! decodebin name=d \
        d. ! queue ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! scaletempo ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink \
        d. ! queue ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink

OR

    playbin uri=... audio_sink="scaletempo ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink"

When an application sends a seek event with rate != 1.0, Scaletempo applies the rate change by scaling the tempo without scaling the pitch.

Scaletempo works by producing audio in constant sized chunks (a "stride") but consuming chunks proportional to the playback rate.

Scaletempo then smooths the output by blending the end of one stride with the next ("overlap").

Scaletempo smooths the overlap further by searching within the input buffer for the best overlap position. Scaletempo uses a statistical cross correlation (roughly a dot-product). Scaletempo consumes most of its CPU cycles here.
