Problem with Streaming MP3s with Resampling at 32000Hz... Why?

I just noticed something very strange or maybe it isn’t and I just don’t know the simple answer. I was testing out different load times and encoding properties for my mp3 files to be played through Flash and came upon something weird. The files I encoded with a Resampling rate of 32000hz when played through my xml MP3 player are sped up enormously; it was as if I changed the tempo to something it shouldn’t be. I have a position / duration field and the duration of a 30 second song shows up as 21 seconds and the music played reflects that time change in terms of how fast the song is played.

Does anyone know why this happens and if there is a possible solution? I wouldn’t find it odd if the MP3 played like that in WinAmp or iTunes but it doesn’t so I can’t figure this one out.

Thanks for any help/info on this issue,
