There are 3 or 4 ways to do this, each of which has problems.  I always
try the expsrc path first -- it's a combination of sampling rate conversion
and granular synthesis.  There's another version of this called ssb-am
(very cool -- "an Idea that is mine, My Idea!").  Then there are FFT tricks
that almost never work (the phase vocoder),  or take
the age of the universe to compute (dsp.scm has a few of these).
Then, there's rubber-sound, which really does never work.

I once had a donald duck transform (back in mus10 days), but I thought
it was a joke and forgot about it -- now I don't know what I did.
