It probably depends for which medium you want to record. If the final
product is 44.1 kHz CD, a SR of 88.2 kHZ seems a good choice, and if you
master for DVD, then 96kHz would be more appropriate...

This amount of oversampling leaves enough room for smooth analog 
filtering, higher rates impose more problems in that area without (m)any 
benefits...

Both would double the CPU requirements for processing in Max according
to 44.1/48 kHz though...

One option could be, record in 88.1/96 kHz but to do the patch in 44.1. 
When its finished, switch to non realtime and 88.1/96 kHz. and render 
the result in good quality... (Only worth for tweakheads... ;-)

...I just see, that the nonrealtime driver doesn't allow 88.2 kHz. This 
seems to be an oversight I can't follow... Any comments from cycling...?
