I'm afraid I haven't seen any that support multi-channel and pitch/speed
control at the same time.

Changing the volume on the wave data is simple multiplication against the
sample values. I have software volume control stage in my software.

Pitch/speed control can also be done is software, fairly easily if you
don't mind pitch and speed being tied together. Remove 1 of 100 samples to
increase speed 1%, insert a duplicate sample every 100 to decrease speed
1%. Adjust the ratio according to the speed change desired. This works
well for speeds between 50% and 200%, beyond that you have to go to higher
quality sine-spline interpolation.
