Applied.  Thanx.

I don't see that the speed in the input points is recalculated.

For the two formats that want to display speed as a textual output,
track_recompute() is used to run over the track lists and build min speed,
max speed, and so on and to do this, it does compute speed but what's stored
in the data isn't recomputed.   Yes, that function could probably use
existing speed if it were there, but so few inputs have this that it just
made sense to always do it.
