It's anyway better to user other resampler like pph or samplerate plugins. And these have no restriction, I guess. It'd be nicer if the rate plugin itself provides the min/max rates optionally. It shouldn't be hard -- just extend the pcm_rate_info_t to contain the new info. A version check would be required to make the backward compatibility, though.
