Pausing and Playing Video with shifter turned off causes video to play slower and lower pitch

[Kully]

I've been experiencing this bug a few times. I cannot easily reproduce the bug but I will post what I recently did in YouTube that caused the bug.

1. Open a new tab in Chrome
2. Go to YouTube
3. Go to a video I like and play.
4. Enable the Extension, slide the pitch up to ~0.34
5. Disable the extension (leave the pitch dial untouched)
6. Enable loop on the video.
7. Leave that tab (do other work)
8. Return back to the tab after a couple of play throughs
9. Pause the Video
10. Press Play and viola, the video is playing a little slower and lower pitched.

Notes:

• The new slowed down version sounds great. It doesn't sound glitchy and not-smooth unlike most settings of the pitch when using the extension normally (due to low and muddled frequencies I imagine)
• maybe it's a calibration issue? throwing this idea out there, but what if the amount that I went up on the pitch dial becomes recalibrated at some point to 0.35, and then the extension seeks to make the pitch 0, only to lower the pitch by 0.35. It's far fetched but worth sharing my first thoughts.

Any experiences with an issue like this?
