The user can adjust the playback rate

Nice idea but the UI is perhaps a little intrusive? Most of Voracious's functionality is toggled by keyboard shortcuts. Perhaps it would be best if this were toggled by + to speed up, - to slow down and 0 to reset playback rate. These shortcuts could then be listed in the help menu.

@chriskempson Maybe this should be done with a modifier key for "R". For example, pressing Control-R replay's the last subtitle at half speed. In practice, I find I want to watch the videos at normal speed, and then slow down individual subs. I also don't think I need more than one slow speed setting.

@jbaudanza That's a much better idea! Agreed, one slow setting should be fine.
