44.1 kHz is essentially deprecated on the hardware level since it's annoying to deal with the extra clock. It's a few cents for an extra crystal, way too expensive ;). 44100 also makes for very poor multipliers/dividers to other clocks since it includes 3²×5²×7² as factors. 48000 is much nicer with 3×5³.
