I agree.  The driver is broken, it should not accept setting a rate that
it doesn't support.

I think we might have to do a in the long run.  Since Windows seem
to do sample rate conversion I suspect we'll find more and more of
the fixed rate cards.  And as machines get faster it will be less of
an overhead.
