Surely all soundcards must support 44.1kHz as that's the standard CD rate. Probably most support 48kHz as well, but as the overwhelming majority of MP3s are at 44.1kHz, outputting at 48kHz would require resampling everything which can only be bad for sound quality and CPU usage. Do you have evidence of soundcards that don't support 44.1kHz? -- Quextal plays progressive and psychedelic breakbeats and 4/4s for innerspace journeying and wild dancing.
