Summary0015051: Native (DSP) plug-in support (e.g. Pitch/Tempo Control)
DescriptionIt is very common request that user wants to control playback pitch and tempo for podcasts and audiobooks in order to make them easier for listening

ATM the best Winamp DSP plugin to control is Slow me down https://www.ronimusic.com/winamp.htm, but we should add it as native function due the lag where plugin needs to be used with Wave Output and lower buffer or https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/take-it-easy/ which is known to be less stable than Slow me down.

Implementation should cover:
1. Per Type defaults (eg. so that it can be set for Podcasts and audiobooks easily)
2. Track Properties (most likely along with implementation of #14056)
3. Directly in Player controls to have real-time change/control
4. According to changes to Pitch/Tempo Player should adjust correct playback time

EDIT: Peke has indicated that tests several years back showed that fixing DSP would break Crossfade and gapless, and winamp DSP addons break in many cases. In addition winamp plugins only support the Windows version and couldn't be used for MAC or Linux Versions in future. Multi Platform BASS engine also natively support Pitch/Tempo on all systems and this is something we should think post 5.0

Per Jiri's comment at #15241: Deferred to decide re. native DSP implementation for MM 5.1.

1. There are users who prefer Winamp DSP plugins (Enhancer, Stereo Tool, ...) over your native crossfade or gapless options.
2. There are programs having Mac and Linux versions like JRiver Media Center that also have support for Winamp DSP plugins.

By the way, the mentioned JRiver MC also supports VST and (less importantly) DirectShow plugins.

One more by the way, there are even ways to load Winamp plugins into 64-bit VST host applications, so there is no excuse that they wouldn't be supported on your eventual future 64-bit version of the program.

We are moving from Windows dependencies VST can be solution added as 0019152 for both Windows and MAC and should be handled in separate ticket.

Pitch/Tempo is implemented in MM at 0017885 so closing

Native basic support is added in 5.1 further handling should be done in respected bugs.
