There's a genuine issue here due to the raciness of the ALSA APIs -
we're not enforcing constraints and we should be.  If the two programs
end up setting incompatible rates we need to handle that.

This isn't a clear name, I don't understand it.

What happens when the stream in one direction is stopped but not the
other?  For example, capture stops but playback continues.
