you can only find out by trying it.

if you always open "plughw:N" (where N is going to be 0 for most
users, since most people have only soundcard), this won't matter,
because a "plughw" device will support (almost) any parameters you
use. 

the limitations of the hardware only matter if you try to open "hw:N",
which will expose the stupid (cheap) design of the soundcard. there is
no workaround for "hw" device other than to use a "plughw" device
instead.
