As far as I am aware (though I may be wrong), S/PDIF doesn't go below 24kHz. I've tested audio equipment using an Audio Precision test unit, and it wouldn't let me go below 20kHz (it allows continuously variable sample rate to see how well equipment copes). What are you running that requires a lower sample rate? (my intuition always tells me I want a higher sample rate, unless I need to match a certain standard (i.e. 44.1 for CDs)).
