Today's movies are predominantly recorded at 24/48, so that's why you normally see DTS-HD MA with that resolution. As for music (studio, concerts), one expects higher sample rates (at least audiophiles do). But as was stated above, if 48kHz was a limitation of the recording equipment, that's all you are going to get -- unless they upconvert the sample rate to something higher.

I'll try to remember to check out my R30 BD when I get back home. From memory, I didn't notice anything about the audio that was off.

Blu-ray Profile 3.0 (audio only) should include the color options so that you can just put the disc in and select the format that you want (stereo, surround, etc) without any monitor involved. This is currently being done with the newer releases from AIX Records, even though they are not Profile 3.0 discs. Below is a link to discussion on this topic:
