Thanks so much, Gale and Gene, for your help both with this and with
unmuting the line-in jack. For now, the Effects > Change Speed dialog
appears to be allowing me to do exactly what I want. But I'm always loving
to hear that there's more than one way to skin any cat. <grin>
Thanks again, I'm really enjoying using the program!

Another way would be to use Tracks > Add New > Time Track. SHIFT + M to open
the menu, down arrow four times to "Set Range" and ENTER. Choose the same
figure in the "Lower speed limit" and "Upper speed limit" boxes for constant
speed playback.
In theory this would then let you remove the Time Track at any stage of your
project to play back at normal speed. But if you apply the Change Speed
effect, you must undo it before making other edits, or lose your subsequent
edits if you undo it later. However the Tracks > Remove Tracks menu item
only works with Audio and Label Tracks, which should be fixed.
In the "Play-at-speed" Toolbar, sighted users can double-click the slider to
get a text box to enter the exact figure, so it works like the gain and pan
sliders on the Track Panel. These sliders have a shortcut to access the text
box, so that would be the solution with the play-at-speed slider. However
given this is experimental I'd tend to call it a "feature request" rather
than a bug.
