msacm should indeed accept any possible conversion rate (I didn't check 
if a minimal/maximal range was enforced) (basically, you just need not 
to check for a correct rate when trying to accept or reject a given 
WAVEFORMATEX)

wavemapper should also support the new (XP ?) official rates of 48kHz 
and 96kHz
