Except that audacity actually _is_ in ports, if you just
require "adjustable" speed (without editing / saving the
original file), you could use "mplayer -speed <n> <file>",
or use "mplayer <file>" and use the [ ] and { } keys to
adjust the speed (if you have OSD on, key 'o') you can
see the speed (if the file contains video; if not, the
output will be text only for information purposes).
