The HDA bus runs at 48K (like AC97) but does not expect the HW to be 48k (as AC97 did) and has methods for transporting audio with other sample rates than 48K.

I get about the same on the same hardware. Using KxStudio, I can occasionally get 64/2. Unstable for any kind of serious live or recording activity. With - rt kernel can do a little better.
Agreed... Playing guitar / bass / synth with anything less than 128/2 is not really usable due to its anoying-ness factor for me personally. The 2nd you slap the headphones on anyone else, usually the very first comment is 'um, there's a delay?!'.
