Owen -- could you try out rubberband
(http://www.breakfastquay.com/rubberband/) ? There's a command line
utility that uses the library you can download and try on your sample.
Let us know how it sounds (re the artifacts you were getting with
soundtouch). We'e considering giving rubberband a shot in Mixxx.

With respect to your tweaks to SoundTouch's constants -- that might be a
good idea. SoundTouch is designed to work with a wide variety of music,
while we are more focused on electronic music. I've always wanted to
gather a representative corpus of music files that we expect people to
be mixing so that we can run through it to either quantitatively or
qualitatively make sound quality decisions like this one.

Thanks!
