Why is WMA lossless 48 kHz when ripped or converted?

I have noticed that my WMA lossless files ends up with 48 KHz (I select the normal 44 16bit) when I ripp a cd or convert other lossless formats to WMA lossless. It doesn't matter what ripper or format converter I use. When I check the wmal track properties in the latest Foobar2000 it shows 48. Even when I import the track to Cubase it asks if I want to convert the 48 to the more common 44 KHz.
BUT, when I check the track properties with dbPoweramp (any version) it shows 44.
When I convert a wmal (48) track to another lossless format like flac it ends up with 44.
Why is this happening?
Please confirm this problem, it only takes a minute to create a wmal file and check with both foobar and dbpoweramp.
Thanks in advance!
