For clarity, you have come up with the number of bits... if you 
devide your answer by 8, you will have the number of bytes, 
which is a little over a meg/sec.  Many people will have programs that
pad 24 bit ints to 32 bits, or four bytes, which bumps the
the answer up closer to 1.5meg/sec.

Still, it is true that the USB bandwidth is responsible for
crippling the available channels on cards that attempt to do
24/96.
