Do you have a valid S/PDIF bitstream running when you start your device?
If the default clock is S/PDIF then there must be a valid S/PDIF stream
to recover the clock.

So you think the ALSA driver may be configuring the device for 44.1k based
sample rates, but you have a 48k S/PDIF stream running?
If that is the case you should be able to figure out which software is
opening the audio device and change the default sample rate to 48k.
Depending on desktop environment it is likely PulseAudio.
