There is no need to provide 48x48 pixel png icons for each application.
As described in bug #46836 Rhythmbox, Sound Juicer and other
applications svg icons have an initial size of 48x48 pixels.

But /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme contains the following:

[scalable/apps]
MinSize=1
Size=128
MaxSize=256
Context=Applications
Type=Scalable

So the gnome icon theme implementation thinks that icons in the
scalable/apps directory have a nominal size of 128 pixels. For
Rhythmbox, Sound Juicer, ... icon the actual size is 48x48 pixels, so
the icon appears 2.67 times smaller than expected.

There are two possible solutions:
1. edit index.theme and set the nominal size of icons in scalable/apps to 48 
pixels.
2. edit the SVG files so that they have an intial size of 128x128 pixels.

I would recommend (1) because 48x48 is used in gnome as initial display
size for desktop and folder icons. Furthermore the tango project also
suggests 48x48 pixel size for svgs. Most of the scalable icons in
/usr/share/icons/<theme>/scalable already use this size.
