The following code uses ossaudiodev to read 1000 values from
my sound card at a rate of 12,000 samples per second:

When I select a sample rate that is not a power of 2 times
3000 samples/second, a strong and very regular sawtooth is
superimposed on the signal.  At some sampling frequencies,
it appears as a rising sawtooth, and at other sampling
frequencies it is a declining sawtooth, so I'm presumably
lost in some aliasing wilderness.  As best I can tell,
it's a 48 KHz sawtooth.

That could be a hardware and/or driver limitation. By example, an AC97-compliant chipset may provide a fixed rate of 48000 samples/second -- any sample rate conversion must be done by other means, if possible at all.
