The sample rates of an inbuilt soundcard has is only part of the issue. The quality of the A/D is more important, and this is where your noise flaw will be created. Obviously latency isn't an issue when it comes to recording in your vinyl.
There would be little point recording at 96k unless you had a decent dither to take you back down to 44.1K. The maths of it simply doesn't work and it alter the sound at the other end.
You should only output a volume at around 3/4 the maximum output so that you leave plenty of headroom in your recording. Levels can always be increased once you have a healthy recorded source via compression or normalisation.
I may well just be lucky enough to have decent quality audio interfaces, far beyond that of a general consumer level, and I would personally find it very difficult to use anything other than that. I wouldn't recommend someone replicating my studio just to copy some vinyl either.
If you were going to do it, I'd get a USB turntable from Maplins, as they are a snitch at the price, and you can always sell it on once you're done.
