I'm not sure if this is connected but two or three weeks ago I was
still on v2.89 (I think) and all radio downloading suddenly became
unavailable.
Things all started working again after I updated to 2.91 which had
all the changes in it for the upcoming changes to BBC streaming
methods (which had obviously just happened when things stopped for
me).
Maybe this change to BBC methods is also when the file rates became
48k for you?

Audio Factory encodes at the audio's native 48 kHz; this is what the
stations operate at internally. 44.1 kHz was a legacy thing and to be
honest was unnecessary; after stations went all-digital at 48 kHz it
effectively gave us three resampling steps (48 -> 44.1 -> 48).
Now we have zero additional resampling steps (save for anything like
commercial music, which will have been resampled once from 44.1 kHz
source to 48 kHz).
Don't get confused with the HLS bit rates (of which 48 kbps - 48
Kilobits per second - is one). :-)
