OK.

That's not the kind of things I want to try on a Friday before leaving
work, so I will try that next week and report results here.

I think it is worth trying (same patch_realtek.c file, isn't it?). In
the worst case we will use a software resampler (8 kHz <-> 48 kHz
shouldn't be too difficult), but I would prefer leaving that to the
codec.
