I run a Delta 1010 and i let jack set my sample rate.  Im not at my
daw right now, but i remember an envy24 setting telling the 1010
to "lock" the sample rate.  You want to make sure that isnt checked
otherwise jack wont be able to change it.
 
Ive done recordings at 44.1, 48, and 96 and i simply change the
jack setting as i switch between them.  
 
Hope this helps!!

I know I can, but I also see it change back to 48000 when jack starts....
no matter what I set jack to

I thought of remounting my 2nd drive as ext2, since it now has ext3 which
is journalled.  but setting 32bitmode has fixed my immediate problem.

I assume using a Windows driver?

there is a smart server for gnome, dunno about other tools.  I disabled it
as being 'one more thing doing disky stuff'

thanks Brad.  I wish I could build dedicated systems >-:  As it is, my DAW
is also my desktop PC for normal use and the budget is tighter by the day.
