Are there any advantages to using 96k (or 48k?) if the

44.1k/16bit? I am thinking that tracking at 44.1k / 24 bit should be
more than sufficient for most (non-pro) purposes?
I read somewhere about higher bitrate being important for headroom for
audio processing plugins, but does samplerate also have an effect on
this?
48k seems to be the standard the ADCs are built for. The non-pro audio
cards (AC97 and HDA) are designed around 48k. In fact AC97 codecs sample
at 48K and resample down to 44.1k sometimes badly (SB Live!). Go back a
month in this list a month or so for more reasons why 44.1k is less than
good for recording.
