48k seems to be the standard the ADCs are built for. The non-pro audio
cards (AC97 and HDA) are designed around 48k. In fact AC97 codecs sample
at 48K and resample down to 44.1k sometimes badly (SB Live!). Go back a
month in this list a month or so for more reasons why 44.1k is less than
good for recording.
