I've written a few s3m/mod/etc players before ... coming up with a good and
fast mixer can be a horrid chore (unless of course, you just choose to rip
off someone else's).

Blunt frequency changers (without doing any FFT's etc... but rather just
duplicating/skipping samples based on ratio of playback rates) are fast and
relatively ugly... and would only take a lil bit of time to implement....
the prettier mixers are a completely different story.... and you'd prolly
also want an API to pick what kind of resampling you want, etc...

I'm not sure if this SDL turf or application turf.  I'm leaning towards
application myself.

Just my two cents.
