[alsa-devel] How do I tell ALSA that my driver supports every possible sample rate?

That's the point.  It's supposed to indicate all sample rates no matter what they are or 
will be.  However, that may be a moot point ...

Ah!  I wish this stuff were documented in the source files.

So can I do this?

static const struct snd_pcm_hardware mpc86xx_pcm_hardware = {

	.rates			= SNDRV_PCM_RATE_CONTINUOUS,
	.rate_min		= 1,
	.rate_max		= (unsigned int) -1,
