On 19 March this year, SanDisk employee Sansafix said here:
Pitch issue fix is feasible and will be in the next planned update, likely within 2 - 3 months.
The month before (I can’t find it now) he said that a pitch fix had been found (or similar words) that would impact battery power less than 3% and that the fix would come out in the next firmware release “this quarter” (his words). No further firmware release ever came out.
SanDisk’s current pronouncement is contradictory to both of these.
I think its more interesting to read the exact statement SansaFix wrote. He always gave us the good scoup on what was happening with the firmware. Does this sound like they just identified a potential issue, or does this sound like they actually tested some new code. You be the judge:

All,
Good news, We have reduced the pitch error by one order of magnitude with little to no effect on battery life (<3%).
The optimization will be included in the next firmware release due out this quarter.
We have optimized for 44Khz and the pitch error is < 0.14%
For all other samples rates its <0.18%
