In general, SPDIF inputs do not resample, and if you try to record with
the wrong sample rate, the result has the original sample rate and is
just labelled wrong.

And in practice, everybody uses 48 kHz.

In theory, this would be possible.

Yes, but the USB audio driver does not implement it because the USB
audio specification does not define such an interface between the driver
and the device.

At the moment, you have to write the code yourself.  But if you've
tested it, we would be interested in integrating it into the kernel
driver.
