FLV supports 48kHz AAC.

Adobe Flash Video File Format Specification Version 10.1
E.4.2.1 AUDIODATA
If the SoundFormat indicates AAC, the SoundType should be 1 (stereo) and
the SoundRate should be 3 (44 kHz).
However, this does not mean that AAC audio in FLV is always stereo, 44 kHz
data. Instead, the Flash Player ignores
these values and extracts the channel and sample rate data is encoded in
the AAC bit stream.
