Comment (by ethrop):

 Sorry Albert but you will have to polish up your knowledge of sampling
 theory and see what it entails when you vary table indexing to obtain
 different pitches. Of course, there are ways of compensating this
 stretch/compress effect with Fourier resynthesis. Should you be near such
 a program sometime (there are many), you shoudl take a look at the
 floating point resources it requires. Realtime resynthesis is not even
 practical on modern machines, let alone a 400MHz Geode. The sounds like
 dogs, cats and other "concrete" samples are not meant to be used in a
 strictly "pitched" sense. If one is careful, one can certainly synchronize
 loops at times but it is not the main point. Not all musics involve
 "techno" synchronicity. The idea of "song"  being what constitutes music
 may need revision, specially in this context.. ;)
