mhWaveEdit

A bit late, but I have now discovered that it doesn't build with PortAudio version 19. Those idiots changed the API in a backwards-incompatible way.

Re: problems compiling
I'm not sure what's causing those errors, but it looks like you unpacked portaudio inside the mhwaveedit source directory. Could you try moving the portaudio directory somewhere else, compile and install portaudio, and then compile and install mhWaveEdit?

Maybe you don't need portaudio at all? mhwe supports both OSS and ALSA directly. If you don't need portaudio, you can run configure with the --without-portaudio option.

Re: Fast play
Variable speed playback is on my todo list, but it will probably take a while before I get the time to implement it..

Fast play
mhWaveEdit still suits my needs best, is fast and reliable. :)

Now I am editing long files. For that I am missing one usefull feature - fast play, or rewind with listening-in.

This could shorter time needed for edit, as during editing I only need to quickly find some places in file.

The only thing is to have a possibility to change frequency the play buttons are playing with (it should not touch the frequency of the file). Good option is to have one more slider that will set the frequency the play should play with (it could also decrease, not only increase the frequency).
