This is a beta release of an NeXTstep phase vocoder application that
David Jaffe and I hacked together in April.  This implementation uses
threads - you can actually run multiple phase vocoder processes from
this application at once.  As phase vocoders are cpu cycle ravagers,
it is not wise to have many of these threads running at once.

I admit it; I made the icon.  It is supposed to be a picture of two
hands clutching the ends of an signal; they are poised to squash or
stretch it.  Other people have said that the icon has two birds in it;
someone mentioned flowers, a steamroller, the cover of a Kurt Vonnegut
novel, the pope'e spleen, a careening mustang plowing into a fushcia
pomo strip mall in Anaheim, California.  So I am holding a contest to
see what you, they end-user thinks of this icon.  Does it look like
Barbara Mandrell's mouth before she shouts a soaring melody?
