[MPlayer-users] Mplayer makes small popping/static sound when speed_set is used

[Brad Hermanson]

Muting the program wouldn't be a viable solution since Aletheia is designed
to be listened to while adjusting the pitch and speed. It sends multiple
speed_set commands (sometimes in quick succession) when transitioning to a
different pitch. Therefore, introducing a pause in playback, even
temporarily, is not feasible.
