Also note int he above struct, that's the global samplerate, etc.... there are 
independant settings in several backend mappings for cases where having a 
different sample rate and nyquist frequency in floor encoding would make 
sense, etc...

So you can just frob the values, but make sure you catch them all.

Correct.  I'm setting up that interface RSN.
