With modern oversampling techniques, the difference between 44.1k vs 48k is inaudible to the human ear (Neil Young notwithstanding). Rather, it’s mostly about math: 48000 is *vastly* easier to factor in all sorts of useful ways to make it scale into a DSP system, whereas 44100 is a plain pain in the rear (just take a look at the ‘padding bit’ functionality in the MPEG-1 spec for an example of how mind boggling this can become).
