No, you have it mixed up!

If it was recorded at 22.05 KHz, and played at 44.1 KHz, then it 
would be twice the speed/pitch, as you say it is.


I would put my money on the crosslinked file guess. It might be a 
computer system sound, maybe speech for your OS or an application, or 
something similar. For that sort of use, lower sample rate (and 
sized) audio files are common.
