Setting the sampling rate has no meaning outside of the > action of playing or recording. ALSA is needed only to playback or record using a soundcard (a number of soundcards in more complex cases). And it is my choice which sample rate on the card(s) to use - it is me who decides on quality <-> CPU load <-> memory bandwidth relationships.

I well remember SoundBlaster (16 ?) - it had a mixer in Windows. And in Linux. I might even still have that ISA card - I used to own one.
