The only workaround I can think of, is having a server-side application (mencoder, lame...) to convert the bitrate to 128kbps Of course that increases cpu and bandwidth usage on the server, so it may not be an option either.
And just when AS3 first came out, I thought I'd never see these "peculiar features" ever again. Yeah, sweet illusion... I've never dug that much in the Sound class, but I always thought there was something creepy about it. Anyway, hope this is your last bug (at least for today) ;) On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 10:53 PM, Steven Sacks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Man I just keep finding more and more bugs with Sound.
