Audio Sample Rates

OK, this is  totally anal retentinve, but I'm an audio engineer, and that's the way we are. I like to do the re-encodes and watch the Rifftrax on DVDs. Thing about DVDs is the audio on them is sampled at 48K, while the audio from Rifftrax comes in at 44.1K, meaning that to get the audio to match up I have to do a Sample Rate Convert, thus degrading the audio of the Rifftrax. Is there any possibility of getting Rifftrax at 48K?

Just a quibble from a fan since MST3K Season 3.

I wish that were the case too... it's been brought up before. I'm assuming they keep it at 44 since the audio files are intended for mp3/cd players. I kind of wish the bit rate was a little higher too... but they're looking after the dial-up folks I'm sure.
