audio pumping on youtube video

I have been trying to upload a music video to youtube and various other video hosting sites for a few weeks and am at my wits end. once the upload is re-encoded by their servers to prepare it for streaming the audio pumps in the most horrible way. This is not a small problem that is bothering me because I am an audio guy. It literally jumps up and down in volume about 6-10 db from moment to moment. The funny thing is, it sounds fine on myspace video. But youtube is really an important part of the online video commmunity. I have tried everything I can think of, from lowering the overall volume of the audio, to adding more/less compression to the audio track, I have encoded the video to FLV, to mpeg, and every other format these sites will accept. I have made the audio mono before uploading (as i know that is part of what their streaming encoders do) and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Thanks for the heads up! They did fix it. Now I am very happy to have my video on youtube and sounding good, well, as good as mono streaming audio can sound

so where can you stream stereo video at original file quality?

Z share can stream uncompressed audio (or at least high quality mp3's without ruining them the way the myspace flash players do) so is there a site with a video version of this?
