You are correct in that samples are added to resample to 48khz. But, what frequencies are those samples at? There is really no reason for us to even sample at 44.1k because we can't hear over 20k. I can get into all of the math about how it needs to be doubled, but that doesn't really matter. The human ear can not possibly hear the difference from 44.1khz to 48khz back to back. You are talking only 3900 more samples per second added to the already insane 44,100 samples. It would be different if it were 44.1khz to 96 (which isn't even integrated into anything yet sample rate wise). We only know its different because of meters and oscilloscopes.
It dosn't matter what frequency the samples are at. Because when it is downsampled back to 44.1KHz the samples that are removed are not the ones that were added. So your end result is audio that has had garbage samples added to it, and real audio data removed.

Ok, you know what, when I get home today I will send the e-mail.

Again, I encourage you to show me where they said that the DSP does not resample to 48KHz and back to 44.1 before outputting the signal.
