Todd, I'm so sorry to hear that!

Yes, I will freely admit that it shouldn't even be exposed as a
feature right now, it has somehow become so dangerous.  Doing it right
is unfortunately harder than it should be due to some internal
implementation issues, but I hate to have people turned away from it
because of that.
How about pitch scaling (shifting)?  There are a few open source
implementations that I could much more quickly incorporate than fixing
the rate scaling.  Any votes?

I also plan to have it start sending out midi clock so it can be also
be the source.  No guarantees to when though, as usual...
