I've finally got a rate converter to work.

My ~/.asoundrc now looks like this:

  #set Edirol UA-3FX as default hardware device for all alsa-aware apps
  pcm.!default { type hw card 1 device 0 }
  ctl.!default { type hw card 1 device 0 }

  #force OSS apps to use Edirol UA-3FX too, (with 'aoss' command)
  pcm.dsp0 { type plug slave.pcm "hw:1,0" }

  #rate converter (needed by snd)
  pcm.44k {
    type plug
         slave {
           pcm "hw:1,0"
           rate 44100
         }
  }

Unfortunately, when I call snd with the command:

  $ SNDLIB_ALSA_DEVICE="44k" snd &

 the problem persists, i.e., audio is output through my external
 USB I/O device but the rate is set to 32000.
