alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf issue #253 was opened from fchiby: Hello, I created an alsa-ucm configuration to my board i350-evk (mt8365-evk). Here my configuration files: [mt8365-evk.conf.txt](https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/files/10247428/mt8365-evk.conf.txt) [HiFi.conf.txt](https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-ucm-conf/files/10247429/HiFi.conf.txt) However pulseaudio initialization failed because of hw:mt8365evk,2, this pcm device is connected to jack_mic and Amic. ``` D: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: _buffer_size:4408 , _period_size:1102 I: [pulseaudio] pcm_hw.c: SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed (-22) D: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: _buffer_size:4408 , _period_size:1102 I: [pulseaudio] pcm_hw.c: SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed (-22) D: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: _buffer_size:4408 , _period_size:1102 I: [pulseaudio] pcm_hw.c: SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed (-22) D: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Set neither period nor buffer size.

Actually, the rate limitation is not on afe dai, it's on PMIC. So we prefer to not restrict hw:mt8365evk,2 FE AWB rates. My question is, **is it possible to specify the rate limitation in a** `SectionDevice` ? I checked the alsa-ucm-conf documentation and did not find any section for this :/ [alsa-ucm-conf docs](https://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/group__ucm__conf.htmll) Thanks a bunch !
