Description

Problem

The current audio speed button requires multiple clicks to cycle through speed options (0.5x → 0.75x → 1x → … → 2x → back to 0.5x). This is not user-friendly as users might miss their desired speed and have to click multiple times again.

Suggested Improvement

Replace the current speed toggle button with a dropdown menu. This will allow users to directly select their preferred playback speed without unnecessary cycling.

Benefits
  • Better user experience
  • Faster selection of playback speed
  • Avoids frustration from clicking multiple times

Search the repository for the current audio speed toggle and inspect how its available playback speeds are defined and selected. Replace the cycling interaction with a dropdown that lets users choose a speed directly, then verify that each listed speed is applied correctly in the audio player.
