Hmm, based on what I'm reading and with your help, it looks like I may
have it easier just sticking the saa7134 card in a frontend and
setting it to a 48000 sample rate.  I found another post of your's
(Mike Dean) where someone else has an saa7134 based card and had
similar problems.  I also found this on the transcode wiki:

AFAIK, because some limitations of SAA7134 chipset, it can safely output only
audio at 32000 Hz rate.

So...I'll fiddle with it a bit more before sticking the card into a
frontend and just going with different recording profiles for that
machine.  Thanks for the help this far.

Anyone care to take a look at another issue with this same card?
