If you have the programming manual, not what is for free download but under NDA, you should find exact register settings for 48kHZ stereo over DMA TV sound, if possible at all. > I don't know if the NICAM mode is used for LINE1/LINE2, but if not - and if it > uses the Video-lock mode - it can (or could) operate in 44.1kHz and 48kHz > too. NICAM, on all TV standards that support it, is always at the second soundcarrier. So input must be SIF to isolate the SSIF and decode it from there with the nicam decoder.

Gerd had working 48kHz audio sampling rate from external audio LINE inputs on his saa7134-oss, at least on the saa7134 chip. This is not working anymore on saa7134-alsa. He was also the opinion, that 48kHz stereo TV sound is not possible over DMA too. IIRC, on broadcast level 32kHz is already up sampled. A limiting factor might also be, that we can't differentiate between saa7133, saa7135 and saa7131e. There are such chip comparing tables I don't have at hand at the moment.
