Video editing: Speed control for Audio Tracks

Currently there is an effect strip "Speed Control", which works well for video strips, but does not work at all on audio strips or meta strips containing audio.

When editing timelapse segments, often one needs audio also synced to sped up parts of the video. It would be nice to have such functionality in blender.

I found some discussions on stackexchange about this: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/40479/will-there-ever-be-support-for-audio-speed-control However the proposed workarounds seem very clumsy and unstable. Pitch control in v3.0.1 does no longer seem to affect audio speed.

Ideally it should be possible to sync audio speed control with video speed control for audio and video staying in sync.
