I see in the FSK code that "Sample freq must be divisible by symbol
rate". I don't know if the PSK modems are similarly impacted, but:

 8000 / 750 = 10.6666... (ouch)
48000 / 750 = 64 (ahh :)

It's been my experience (anecdotal though it may be) that sound cards
prefer working at the higher sample rates anyway. Running all our modems
at 48000 helps with that and gives us internal consistency, but there
are some potential drawbacks:

- This could impact the complexity for the STM platform in the SM1000.
- There are plenty of sound cards out there that top out at 44100, so
some resampling would still have to occur there too. Of course, any
artifacting on that would likely be far enough up the spectrum that it
wouldn't be noticable in what we're doing.

Even so, running from 48000 back down to 8000 is also a much nicer divisor.
