1167500 - [Aries] Audio playback on pandora.com is at half-pitch (really slow)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1166760

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Paul Theriault [:pauljt] (no longer reading bugmail)]

No idea is this Pandora or us, but pandora.com plays audio at half pitch. I tried to test on flame as well, but Pandora says to upgrade to a later browser with flash! What is supported on Aries that isn't on flame? 

Anyways STR:
1. Navigate to pandora.com, play a song

Expected results: playback is normal

Actual: playback is slowed, and sounds like a record played at half speed

BTW tested on other music sites, and this is pandora specific - i havent been able to reproduce elsewhere yet.

I think we might want to find out what file format they use?

From http://help.pandora.com/customer/portal/articles/90985-audio-quality:

Pandora on the Web plays 64k AAC+ for free listeners and 192kbps for Pandora One subscribers. All in-home devices play 128kbps audio, and mobile devices receive a variety of different rates depending on the capability of the device and the network they are on, but never more than 64k AAC+.

I believe this is a dup.
