Playback Speed Problem, or Something Else?

[SamNZDat]

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on a 32-bit Athlon and an A7N8XE mobo. My sound software is ALSA and the sound card ID follows:
00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce Audio Processing Unit (rev a2)
00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler (MCP) (rev a1)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. nForce2 AC97 Audio Controler (MCP)

Can anyone help me with the following Internet Archive audio show: Brahms - Tragic Overture in D Minor, Op. 81 (http://www.archive.org/details/l.f.2006-05-23.flac16)

The original FLAC file has a sample rate of 48 KHz, which file I will temporarily keep in the show till I resolve the problem: the playback speed is too fast.

As you can see, the solution I have applied is to resample the performance at 44.1 KHz.

First of all, is my diagnosis of too-fast playback correct, or is there something wrong with my hardware and/or software?

Secondly, if resampling is not the solution, what is?

Hi!

1) What was the ORIGINAL source material from which you created the FLAC audio file, a CD, DVD, DVD-A, something else?

2) What software and procedures did you use to create the FLAC audio file?

Howdy s_o,

I did not create the original FLAC file and do not know more about the source than tags tell me, but you can have a look at a copy (FTP-downloaded) of the file, labeled "Sample Rate 48 KHz (test file only)" at the following Internet Archive page: Tragic Overture in D Minor, Opus 81 (May 23, 2006) (http://www.archive.org/details/l.f.2006-05-23.flac16)

In other words, there is the original file for your listening and testing, along with the 44.1 KHz Audacity resamplings (one in FLAC, the other in ogg-FLAC) I uploaded.

Am I correct in understanding that the files at that link were ALL uploaded there by you, but you downloaded the file from some other site?

Affirmative.
