Allan,

AFAIK it is there if you're not using a PVR-350 to do the decoding,
i.e. software MPEG2 decompression; the 350 doesn't adjust pitch (well
I've heared it maybe can do it for x1.5 but then the driver would have
to implement it).
There's a checkbox in the setup where you can specify that you are
using the 350 audio out (so the volume controls etc don't work). I'm
suggesting adding an option where you tell MythTV that the 350-audio
is redirected to line-in of your soundcard; line-in is real-time
pitch-adjusted and played back through your soundcard to your stereo.

Frank,

you might be able to re-use the soundtouch libraries currently used by
Myth to do the pitch-adjust if you are using software MPEG2
decompression. I was trying with sox as I know how to work that one.
