GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 636235
PiTiVi core does not handle playing audio clips properly at non-native speeds.

In theory the only thing required to cause a clip to play back at a speed greater than or less than it's native rate is to set the media duration to something other than the duration. To test this I created a pitivi project file (attached) with a single clip and then hand-edited the media duration of the clip such that it should play at 50% speed. While the video portion of the clip does seem to slow down, the audio continues to play back at its normal rate. There are plenty of other issues besides, but the playback issue mystifies me because a simple test script (also attached) is actually able to adjust playback speed using this method.
Created attachment 175640 [details] Simple test script demonstrating that GNonlin handles changing audio speed correctly
Created attachment 175641 [details] Project file with a clip at half speed. PiTiVi slows down the video portion of this file, but not the audio portion. Also demonstrates some other issues where the UI does not handle clips such as this correctly.
This is GES' job now...
