You might also look at your hardware specs. The RME Hammerfall cards have some limitations with lower sampling rates and bit rates since they are designed almost excusively for high-end audio work and low-latency operation (see the RME page for specifics). I think the lowest rate is 32000, but I could be wrong.
If you will be doing a lot of "lo-fi" listening (webcasts, etc), I might suggest buying a second less expensive card, like an SBLive to fulfill those purposes.
