As Paul mentioned, even if you're not running JACK, this is still non-trivial.

Of course not. Resampling a 48k sample to 96k won't add fidelity, but it'll
get them to match the sample rate of the higher-quality tracks, which I
assumed already existed.

This holds true for recording new tracks as well - you can't have a session
at 48k and then add tracks at 96k.

Storage is cheap.

With the timing involved, I can't see where multiple sample rates within a
session could ever work well.
