Dual audio tracks with different sampling rate=speed problem

[GalFisk]

I have an AVI where I'd like to add two tracks with different bitrate/sample rate. They play fine with Media Player Classic, but in Media Player 9, when I switch to the secondary stream (using Morgan Stream Switcher) both audio and video plays at too high speed. Is there some way to fix that? Is different sample rates the problem (which I suspect)?
I'm using BeSweet/LAME to convert the AC3 to MP3, and when I specify 80kbps for the secondary track, LAME automatically lowers the sample rate to 32khz, is there a way to override that, or is it a limitation in LAME?
I'm thankful for any answers that might help.
Edit: Nevermind about LAME, I found out why it does as it does and how to override it. I'm still wondering why Media Player has these problems though...

There are nothing but complaints regarding the performance, or lack thereof, of Windows Media Player v.9.

I'd strongly suggest you install good ol' reliable Windows Media Player v.6.4, as follows:


Desktop>>Start>>Run Then type MPLAYER2.EXE

Reboot

The problem isn't really with the media player itself, 6.4 has the same problem. Maybe it's a limitation of Morgan Stream Switcher, Mediaplayer Classic uses it's own switcher and there it works correctly. but I'd want people with the crappy players to be able to view the clip too...
As I said I've found a solution that works, but I'm interested in knowing why this happen...

In AVI you cant do that ... but matroska container supports this just fine .... more info on http://www.matroska.org

I suggest to abandon the WM player and use a more capable freewareplayer instead.....

I am recommending either Bs player or MV2 player

they also do not need any streamswitcher installed
so you might even discard them as well....

both players can be found at the softwaresection of

by the way when you are muxing with virtualdub mod
or similar and you have two totally different soundformats ... I also recommend interleaving by millisecond and not by frame
