 In 13.2.1, Movie Player, using gstreamer to decode mp3, the time scale is
 compressed so that human voice is rendered in chipmunk mode.  Still
 understandable but not correct.  In 13.2.0 I used the Fluendo decoder and
 no problem with sound rendering was ever observed.

 The Fluendo decoder is no longer available as an installable shared object
 file.  After installing 13.2.1 I installed the old fluendo shared object
 file and found the compressed sound rendering.  Then installed the
 gstreamer packages according to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/GStreamer,
 removed the fluendo shared object and found audio rendering still time
 compressed.  This suggests that the problem is not in the decoder.  Do all
 the machines have the same time scale for audio rendering?  If not, I
 wonder whether Movie Player is configured for a lower sample frequency.
 My knowledge of the audio system is too meager to comment further.

 According to
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Talk:Fluendo_mp3_decoder#MP3_at_2014-10-01 there
 is no such problem in 14.1.0.  According to
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases this 13.2.1 is the latest release for
 this machine.

 If you want something tested here, just let me know.

 Thanks,            ... Peter E.
