Looks ok though if we keep the 2MHz etst then we should investigate
what's goign on on Windows in more details.

True. But I believe Alsa will happily resample (or claim to resample) a
2MHz signal which makes it impossible for us to report an error. Unless
we check for any frequency >96KHz in our driver but this test could be
wrong on high-end sound cards: I believe some support 192KHz sampling
rates.

IOW I'm not sure it's worth trying to be 100% compatible with Windows
there. Especially since there's some doubt about what Windows actually
does.
