Its is 44.1khz, not 48 as outputted by the SB Live series

Depends in what way you mean. If you are meaning monitoring whats coming in,
then yes, this is possible, but if you mean playing something different from
what you are recording, I am not sure.

I dont think its the clock thats skipping it, its the way that Windows runs

Now, dont take this as gospel, its from experience with card hands-on and
also reading a bit about it, I would still check the card out yourself
thought to make sure.
