Prevent VLC media player playback speed pitch increase and choppiness

I’m an avid user of Video Speed Controller plug-in for Firefox and that has spoiled me. Being able to skim through content online at 8x speed without any hindrance is a bliss (no pitch change, lag, or delay). Although I’m usually browsing at 2x-4x speed.

When it comes to VLC I’m wondering if there is any fix for that or if I should just look for an alternative local media player. (The fact that VLC mutes audio after going above 4.00x speed is a bit of a minus for me.)
