I glad you could verify what I found Pete. I also changed the sound
sampling setting from the default of 4800 to 44100 but found it makes no
difference at all to the output.
Hopefully the effort will help improve MESS. Sometimes things like this can
remain hidden in software until people start to use the emulator for the
kind of things I attempted here.

After downloading the software you found, then downloading MESS, and then
spending a frustrating couple of hours trying to get it to actually run
(the docs are truly awful and it doesn't help that there are files either
missing or in the wrong place) I found the same problem you did with the
speed. I thought I'd found the magic setting to save the WAV file at
44100 instead of 4800, but that didn't help. And yet if I compare it to
an MP3 that does work, the pitch seems almost the same, while slowing it
down 8% to make it load (yes, that worked for me too) the pitch is way low
compared to my MP3, and so says my oscilloscope too. The waveform is not
great either.
