Please also provide the output of 'lsusb -v'.

The device is queried for its supported sample rates during probe using
class-specific commands. If it doesn't return all rates that are
actually supported, we need to add a quirk and override this list.

The list of known sample rates is included in
/proc/asound/card1/stream0. What does that show for you?
