Although there were a few other sites out their describing the problem (chipmunk effect was the correct terminology apparently...) Yours describes the solution for Audacity, which is what I was using. The right solution, for the right problem, at the right time. .. even if it is a few years later. My thanks. Perfect.

PodPress is a slick, free plugin for Wordpress, but it can make podcasters sound like Alvin the Chipmunk when podcast listeners use the browser-based flash player — IF the wrong PROJECT SAMPLE RATE is used for the exported podcast. Andy White explains the problem this way: The problem is caused by a feature in the Flash player that causes playback to happen either too fast or too slow if the MP3 file has it’s sample rate at a value which is not a multiple of 11,025 Hz. So, for example, any MP3 file with a sample rate of 11,025Hz, 22,050Hz or 44,100Hz will play fine, but any file sampled at, say, 24,000Hz will give us the chipmunks… [EVEN IF YOU HAVE AUDACITY SET FOR A DEFAULT SAMPLE RATE OF 44.1] if the project contains any stereo content at all, it [AUDACITY] defies the default sample rate and encodes the MP3 at 24,000Hz – full of chipmunks.
