No, ALSA automatically switches the device's sample rate to that of the audio data (or resamples to the nearest supported rate). > > > - is it possible to set the bit-depth?

You don't need to do this manually; ALSA automatically uses 24 bits. In your case, the USB device is handled like a sound card; any other sound card in the system doesn't affect it.
