One reason for recording at 96 or 88.2KHz is to make the anti-alias
filters on the ADCs easier.  You can design filters with a slower
roll-off without risking aliasing of the sampled information. 
Subsequently downsampling to 48 or 44.1KHz using a well designed
digital filter, won't then loose any information or reduce audio
quality.  The question is how much relevant audio information is really
there - above 20KHz?
