I did some work with wavelets last year.  I also found Ian Kaplan's work, 
http://www.bearcave.com/misl/misl_tech/wavelets/index.html, pretty useful.

My results using wavelets for audio processing was mixed.  I had extremely good 
results with spectral morphing, but trying to do time-stretching or 
frequency-shifting introduced a lot of noise.  I've heard that using a Dual-Tree 
Complex Wavelet Transform will mitigate most of those artifacts; Jeff Livingston 
wrote a report, http://users.ece.utexas.edu/~bevans/students/ms/jeff_livingston/, 
about this approach.  Most of my work was based on using partial sections of a 
wavelet packet transform to achieve greater frequency resolution than provided by the 
DWT.  I haven't had a chance yet to combine it with Jeff's work, but I expect it 
would yield good results.

If anyone else has done work using wavelets or chirplets for audio transformation, 
could you please contact me?
Thanks,
John
