Right now, I don't have an easy solution for your different sound files with the same name. I thought you might be able to specify a subdirectory in your media file names, but it didn't work for me with Google Drive. Maybe this was something I added for say Dropbox, but I don't quite remember. But even if it did somehow work, the media files are all stored in a single "deck" directory in the app and there would be a problem with two files sharing the same name (one would get overwritten), unless I had logic to rename one.
I don't know what I think now about any programming changes to help with this. It can be dealt with on your end with file name changes, though I understand it's not idea. I will have to give this more thought.
You mentioned playback speed. Being able to adjust the playback speed of mp3 files is something I'd like to add. But I was thinking it would be a deck setting for a particular "side", not a "per file" setting. Would being able to slow down ALL German files say to 75% be of use to you? Any real reason of wanting to specify this in the text file on a per-file setting?
I don't know when I might add a speed setting for mp3 files, but I'll consider it for an update in the not too distant future.
As far as being able to play multiple sound files on a single side, I don't think this will happen anytime soon. While I can see the benefit, I don't think it would be that useful to very many people. I need to prioritize. But I'll consider.
