Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Knowing where I am in a chapter, and translating that to other players (e.g. my Garmin watch) is difficult, as the current position is scaled with the playback speed.
Describe the solution you'd like
Display the current position in the book/chapter as if the playback speed was 1X.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Guess what my position is based on the current playback speed. Change the playback speed to 1X to see the current position, then put it back.
Additional context
Smart Audiobook Player on Android has this as the default behavior, and I find it to be optimal. I think the remaining time in the book/chapter could still be scaled based on the playback speed so you know how long in realtime is left at the current rate. (That is also how SABP handles it.)
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2024):
This is how I originally had it but after discussing it in GH and Discord the popular opinion was to have them all scale by playback speed.
Some discussion is here https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/549 where I commented what I still think is true:
For this reason I think a player setting makes sense so I added one. The default will still be to scale it but you can optionally choose not to. It will scale both elapsed time values on the total and chapter track.

Oh, excellent. That sounds perfect! Thank you!
