Audio sample rate wrong for DV-AVI

It seems that Movie Maker 2.1 reports the wrong audio sample rate
for a DV-AVI movie captured with it. It always gives 32 khz as the
sample rate. However, when I open the resulting AVI file with any other
video editing program like Adobe Premiere, VirtualDub, etc. they
report 48 khz and play it back correctly.
I suspect that Movie Maker is wrong because when I open the AVI file
produced by it with an audio editor able to interpret AVI files, the sound
is slowed down because the audio editor interprets the audio data at
32 khz as is apparently erroneously written into the header of the file
by Movie Maker. The other video editing programs seem to calculate
the sample rate from the amount of data in the file and thus arrive at
the correct sample frequency of 48 khz.
 
I'm not seeing your situation... I just captured the same footage using MM2,
MM1, and WinDV... using WinDV's options to capture to type I and II DV-AVI
files.

The properties of each are consistent when checked in MM2, VirtualDub, and
Premiere 6.

the type I files by MM2 and WinDV are 1024 kbps bit rate and 32 khz sample
rate
the type II files by MM1 and WinDV are 1536 kbps bit rate and 48 khz sample
rate
 
On further checking, I'm seeing what Strunki said... MM2 (and Movie Maker in
Vista) report an audio sample rate of 32 kHz when the file is 48 kHz....
