You're absolutely right, the 24 bits 4 channels mode would be only accessible in
48 kHz samplerate.

I don't really know how does the isochronous, but applying usual RT security
audio rules seems sufficient to get high priority access and then very low
latency (got 3 ms here with few audio realtime processes..).
