We do not distribute in that format, we resample and recode into common formats for distribution. It didn't cost anything extra for 48KHz instead of 16KHz except for disk space on our servers and this way we are covered for future needs as well.

Why 48kHz? It is unlikely that anything could play it out at this rate. 
Forcing unnecessary sample rate conversion is just a needless waste of MIPs.
