1. Proposal 4.9.6 Playback Rate Adjustment for Multimedia Content.

From a proposal from Mark Hakkinen.

Proposed

4.9.6 Playback Rate Adjustment for Multimedia Content. The user can adjust playback rate of prerecorded content containing speech audio tracks such that all of the following are true (Level A):

- The playback rate should be user adjustable between 1/3 and 3 times real time of the recorded content.

- Recorded speech, whose playback rate has been adjusted by the user, should utilize pitch maintenance in order to avoid degradation of the speech quality.

If only a visual track is present, provide at least one setting between 40% and 60% of the original speed. (Level A)

When audio and video tracks are expected to be synchronized, synchronization is maintained as long as they are played at 75% of the original speed or higher. (Level A)

The UA should provide a function that resets the playback rate to normal (1x). (Level A)

Responder Proposal 4.9.6 Playback Rate Adjustment for Multimedia Content.Comments
Kelly Ford Accept the proposal I am voting accept on this. I realize we need some harder data but think we could call this out in a draft of seeking comments. Overall the basic concept we want is here.
Jim Allan The proposal needs more discussion (see comments field) synchronization at 75% - UAAG10 set this at 80% see http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/guidelines.html#tech-slow-multimedia

playback rate for sign track 2.5-3x loss of comprehension - http://jslhr.highwire.org/cgi/content/abstract/42/3/568

goto http://scholar.google.com/ search for 'playback rate comprehension'

?? only 'speech audio', how is the player/UA to know when something is speech or just sound? are there 'speech ' attributes?
should be 'audio'
Markku Hakkinen The proposal needs more discussion (see comments field)
