Steps to reproduce
Set playback speed above 1x
Skip partway into the book
Observe that the 'elapsed time' counter is still scaled to 1x time
Expected behaviour
I can see an argument for this behavior, but every other player I've used scales both the elapsed and remaining times.
Actual behaviour
Elapsed time remains scaled to 1x playback time
Environment data
Audiobookshelf Version:
Android App?
iOS App?
Android Issue
Android version: 0.9.49-beta
Device model: Pixel 4a
Stock or customized system: Stock

This is not the case for me. I'm not sure if I understand what you mean though. See the elapsed time when I change speeds.

Check out the time that has passed on the left side - it doesn't change after adjusting the playback speed

Oh I see, that was intentional. That is your actual position in the audiobook. I could see it go both ways though
