<apachelogger> though I have to hear a sensible rationale for having it
<SaroEngels__> I am currently writing a audio transcription app, where
it could help to slow down the audio

IMHO that is a sensible and worthwhile use case (additionally it would
address the less sensible use case of people wanting a video player
that can change the playback rate... not that Dragon would get that
feature though).

Prolly could just be a new property of the MediaObject "playbackRate".

Thoughts?
