    It might be interesting to look and see what sorts of capture
    parameters are actually being set up in the driver by each
    of these two cases.

    To do this, start a capture (either a SOX recording, or
    run soundmodemconfig and open up the diagnostic scope),
    and then try:

     cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/sub0/hw_params

    On my system (running the 1.0.2c ALSA drivers), this
    shows a bunch of interesting information, including the
    sample format. number of channels, native capture rate
    (both as an integer, and as a numerator/denominator ratio
    which I imagine is based on the hardware clock rate and
    a divisor), buffer and period size, and processing tick
    time. It then provides much the same information for
    the OSS compatibility layer.

    If you can grab, and then post the results of this
    for the SOX and soundmodem situations, it might give
    further information about what might be making the
    resampler go kerSPRUNG.
