So what does the "fs" stand for?

Fs is the standard abreviation for 'sample rate.' I'm not entirely sure where it comes from, but, well, there you have it.

Thanks Leo. I would say, "That makes sense." but well...you know.

Probably sample Frequency. I've always wondered what the "s" stood for.

I found this: http://www.its.bldrdoc.gov/fs-1037/dir-032/_4673.htm

Looks like Sampling Frequency was the old term.

sampling freq would be my guess, as that's what the 48khz defines.
