These are just the relative data rates so they're not actually used for
anything else. So I guess we could even set them to 0. Though I don't
even recall if the current code really works or not. I think there
might have been some problem with calculating these that I perhaps fixed
with my latest ddb series (or maybe I already fixed it with some earlier
series, can't remember anymore).

This should work too. Can't immediately think why one approach would
be strictly better than the other.
