Opus always uses a sample rate of 48kHz. If you pass it anything else it
will internally resample to 48kHz before encoding.

But if Opus would support other sample rates it would be best if the
recording from the sound device already would happen with 24kHz and no
software resampling is happening. If that's not possible it doesn't
really matter much where the resampling happens in software, other than
that it shouldn't be done multiple times into different sample rates.
