I believe this: The listener is moving away from the constant source, he is putting distance between the waves. The wavelength is decreased, and the pitch is lower.
@shamim
You are correct when you say "The listener is moving away from the constant source, he is putting distance between the waves". I would just change "distance between waves" to distance between antinodes, peaks (maximum air density), troughs (minimum air density), or something to that effect. As for your second sentence - if you're INCREASING the distance between each peak/trough/etc, then you're INCREASING the wavelength as well. This in turn results in a sound with DECREASED frequency (i.e. pitch).
