The reason I want time change without pitch change is so that we can achieve
the modern equivalent of inter-linear language translation on stereo audio
channels.  Such as, you have a computer look up a clue word in a second
language, of your choice, thesaurus.  Then you have the computer speech
function determine how long it will take to synthesize the word in the
original tongue.  It then determines how long it would take to synthesize the
clue word in the second language. Next, it applies time change without pitch
change to the second language speech synthesis. and Voile. You hear the 
original song in one ear and the clue words, dubbed in the other ear, in time
to the music.  How's that for counterpoint. If the usenet goes to a multi-
lingual text stream, the inter-linear dub  would be cheaper and poorer than
translation.
