I had the experience that even though I was prompted (when putting a clip into a sequence) to “Change sequence settings to match the clip settings”, and selected “Yes”, the sequence audio was still mismatched, resulting in the situation Charles mentioned, where rendering was indicated as required for audio.

(In my case, I had imported Quicktime files as the source clips.)

What I did was open the original Quicktime (QT) files in QT Player, look at the settings, and see that indeed the original audio was 44.1 KHz, but the sequence hadn’t been set to match. Using the FCP Sequence >> Settings… menu, I manually changed the Audio Settings from 48 KHz to the original media’s 44.1 KHz, and suddenly the red audio “render required” bar disappeared.
