Hmm, what would happen if 44.1KHz audio was played at 48KHz.  One semi
tone higher would make 44.1KHz into 46.7KHz, which I guess would not be
that far off from 48KHz.

Any chance you were accidentally playing something at the wrong output
speed?

What are you playing?  mp3?  wave?  midi?  Using what player?
