Actually, it works with (a properly compiled) xine, too.  There's an 
audio postprocessor called "stretch".  If you set the stretch factor 
(which isn't times real-time play back, but duration after 
stretching--i.e. 0.5 is 2x playback), you have full control over the 
playback speed.

Oh, I should also mention that it seems many distros do not seem to 
build the stretch filter for xine...
