I was the one who posted that original problem. My solutions were:

1) Use a different soundcard that supported the requested sample rate.

2) Use the ALSA sound system instead of the OSS system, which I think is 
now standard on Ubuntu and most other 2.6 Linuxes. I had been sticking 
with OSS for a while because I found the commercial (paid) OSS system to 
be very stable on the old SuSE distro I was running. I now use Ubuntu 
and the ALSA system will re-sample whatever audio comes in from whatever 
soundcard to give the software what it asked for.

Works well.
