More problems with the Sound object in AS3

Well it appears that the Sound object in AS3 needs a lot more work! After lengthy trial and error (and some Googling) I have found that the Sound object works in direct proportion to the bitrate of the clip. The playback works fine but the problems come in when you want to scrub or pause the track. The target is 128KBPs. If you make sure your tracks are at that target, you'll be ok -- but anything lower cause the sound.position to set incorrectly.

In any event, this is a very significant bug. Kudos to Steven Sacks for helping me understand why I less hair this week!
