This would appear to be a fairly definitive statement, from my very
limited understanding of these things:

kernel: [26208.354299] ALSA pcm.c:174: 6:2:2: endpoint lacks sample
rate attribute bit, cannot set.

I think I'll give up here, what with the failed Audacity as well. But
thanks, anyway.


There must be more than just that one line. The whole discovery process
etc... Once you know what modules get loaded, you can start googling...
some modules may be buggy, some may need options to initialize properly...

Yes, there is more. But:

summarises my current position. I have now re-arranged my equipment so
that I can do what I want without spending more time, with very little
prospect of success, on this particular project.
If you really do want to go further, I will post the whole additional
demsg section, but I am not going further along this path myself.
I do appreciate the interest, though.
