Probably not, but here are some hints on sox's various modes, as I've
determined through my use of it. Others may correct me - my experience
has mostly been in taking 96kHz->44.1kHz.
Since you're only starting with 48kHz, you can try
$ sox infile.wav -r 44100 outfile.wav rate
but according to the manpage, it'll probably suck.
I've occasionally had luck with
$ sox infile.wav -r 44100 outfile.wav resample
but usually end up with clicks and artifacts.
I've usually used
$ sox infile.wav -r 44100 outfile.wav polyphase
and ended up with a clean resample.
