Try AlsaPlayer with jack; it was discussed earlier on this list. There's an external to control AlsaPlayer, which can be told to play at different speed, even backward. For loop manipulation, sample the AlsaPlayer jack input in PD.
Given that alsaplayer and jack are linux programs, and readanysf~ runs on linux, what's the advantage for one or the other?
