My problems happen with the 48kHz MP3 files as well, but mine aren’t VBR.
I’m running audio player 2.0b6 in stand alone mode and having problems with garbled mp3 playback with Flash 10. Here’s a sample URL of the garbled playback with Flash 10:

It appears to either be specific to just some certain MP3 file formats or with streamed MP3 files from remote URLs. The following examples play fine for me:

Any ideas?
