Help! Still desperate because of this 32 - 48 kHz audio issue...

Question

Hello fellow FCP-users,
I posted a few days ago asking what it means to have -along with the DVcamvideo- both 32 kHz and 48 kHz audio footage for one project.
After getting some very useful hints and suggestions I thought it would be no big problem, but even after carefully studying old postings about the same issue I'm still puzzled and indecisive. It seems the more I read, teh more confusing it gets.
But let me start with the first BIG problem: the capturing. Reading all replies so far, I understand that this should be done with a 32 kHz capturing preset. The only thing that I should do then is duplicate an existing setting (f.i. DvCam 48 kHz) to 32 kHz. Ok.
But I haven't found HOW I should do this simple duplicating action. So far I only found a DV 48 kHz-preset, by going to audio/video-settings, choosing the capture preset tab and then duplicate the setting, but at that point I can't find any option to change the audio capture to 32 kHz whatsoever. So there is where it basically ends, not having found any other option anywhere else to duplicate a capture setting.
Then, suppose the capture 32-question above will be answered, what will then be the best workaround?
I already tested this possibility: that is to log all my clips first, with only the video -no audio!- to be batch-captured. Then, as soon as I had all my logged files together, I duplicated them and gave new names to the these duplicates. Then I selected the first set of duplicates and batch-captured resulting in clips with onbly video. But when I tried to batch capture the newly named duplicates -only asking for the audio to be captured- it was again only the video that I got.
The idea behind this method was to separate video and audio, giving me the possibility to export the captured 32 kHz audio, thus getting the right 48kHz audio and then to delete all the 32 kHz audio in order to keep my project clean.
Would this separate capturing-method just be impossible or did I do something wrong here?
Or -if this was not a clever idea after all- should I just capture both video and 32 kHz audio, then create new 48 kHz audio and leave the mediafiles -both video and 32 khz audio- as I first captured them intact?
I hope one of you out there might give an answer to these questions...Especially the first one, because so far I can't even start with my project.
Thank you all for your attention. All help is more than appreciated.

...going to audio/video-settings, choosing the capture preset tab and then duplicate the setting, but at that point I can't find any option to change the audio capture to 32 kHz whatsoever.
After you've duplicated the preset select the duplicated preset and press the Edit button which will bring up a screen that looks like this:
When I work on a 32 project all the audio is 32 so there's really no need to transcode although your project demands may differ in which case you could export the audio by selecting File/Export/Audio to AIFF(s) and reimport if necessary. Capturing seperate audio and video is not necessary for this workflow.
