[LAD] Solved: No Flash audio. With a question.

Hello.
Just a follow up to something I said a while back.

I think Gene H. was saying he couldn't get audio
 and I had replied that I disabled Pulse and it
 appeared to be working.

But even after disabling Pulse, sometimes I still was 
 not getting audio in Flash on YouBoob etc.

When I did have audio, I noticed that every video's
 audio seemed slower and lower in pitch.
I was fooled into thinking that the owners of the 
 videos had somehow remixed them at lower
 pitches or something.

It turns out that Flash wants to play everything
 at a 48000Hz sample rate.
Since my audio card is an Envy24 based card,
 it always boots up in 44100Hz sample rate mode.
So now, before I play Flash videos, I must open the
 envy24control mixer and set the sample rate to 48000Hz.

It works every time now !

Can someone explain the process of how Flash plays audio, 
 and how to force it to use 44100Hz?
I'm confused because at 44100Hz the audio is in sync 
 with the video, yet it is lower in pitch and slower.  
Does this mean Flash is really playing the video slower?

Thanks. Tim.
