Actually, this is what happens when I try to use the 44k rate
converter (defined in my ~/.asoundrc).

  dellboy:~$ SNDLIB_ALSA_DEVICE="44k" /usr/bin/snd &
  [2] 6049

  ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2152:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable
  ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2152:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable

  [2]-  Segmentation fault      SNDLIB_ALSA_DEVICE="44k" /usr/bin/snd

So perhaps 44k doesn't work, or perhpas it does, but snd doesn't like
it?  I will continue bumping around in the dark :-/

Thanks for your help so far, by the way.
