I'm not sure deviating from the Microsoft behavior is correct. The default is 22khz 8 bit mono unless the hardware doesn't support it. Transgaming is correct.
Another problem is that drivers support different formats in different modes. Because of software emulation in alsa, a driver may appear to support any format but then fail when you try to mmap it because then software conversions can't come into play. This is also a problem with OSS emulation in alsa on this type of hardware.
