When the header file was created many years ago, 24000 Hz wasn't a
common sample rate.

To support a sample rate that is not in that list of predefined rates,
your driver should set the RATE_KNOT bit and call the
snd_pcm_hw_constraint_list() function; see the section "Constraints" in
the "Writing an ALSA Driver" document.
