The problem arises between system clock and audio clock. While the Audio clock is most probably a free running clock in the device, the computer may have a slightly different time base. Now who is right about the sampling rate? One thing you can do is accept occasional resyncs with small hickups or clicks, that is some lost samples or some extra samples. Or you can resample the stream, which is computational intensive and decreases quality. Or you manage to synchronize the clocks, which is possible with USB. But the USB clock has probably too much jitter for high quality signal sampling... No easy task. Anyway, refer to SDR widget, they have thought of every possible problem and solution.
