It's not the right tool for this job: you want a frequency shifter, not
a pitch shifter. A pitch shifter multiplies all the frequencies present
in the signal by a constant factor, whereas a frequency shifter adds a
constant offset onto all the frequencies.

Pitch shifters are generally more useful for audio work because they
don't mess up the ratios between frequencies -- e.g. the harmonics of a
complex sound, or the intervals between notes in a piece of music (hence
semitones and cents -- a musical octave is a frequency factor of 2,
there are 12 semitones in an octave so a semitone is a factor of ~1.059,
and there are 100 cents in a semitone). The bodeShifter LADSPA plugin I
used was originally intended for producing weird sounds in audio
synthesisers.
