I would say you're in danger of overthinking it, try the defaults first. Except when you say 24/192 I'm thinking 192 kbits/sec? My usb sound cards can only do 48 max. Yours may do better. I was just looking into it for SDR purposes, the tuning range depends on the max sample rate. SPDIF has always seemed like the way to go, or maybe firewire. But you need to study the E-MU 0202 specs to be sure it can do 192.
