atempo implements WSOLA algorithm.  It's not resampling -- it's 
cut-shift-align-overlap-blend.  Its effect is to change the duration of 
the track by duplicating or de-duplicating some repeating patterns in 
the audio waveform.  For voice-only audio its artifacts are quiet 
unnoticeable even at relatively large tempo changes.  I've tested it by 
playing music at 80% tempo and found the sound acceptable.  Higher tempo 
artifacts are even harder to notice. Going from 24 to 25 fps is about 
4.17% tempo change, well within the range where atempo was tested.
