If a rate plugin uses a node (compound) instead of a plain string for
its "converter", and that compound is not a simple string array, then
the compound will be passed as an additional parameter to the new plugin
open() function (SND_PCM_RATE_PLUGIN_CONF_ENTRY(XXX)). The previous
open() function (SND_PCM_RATE_PLUGIN_ENTRY(XXX)) will be called if the
CONF version is not found. It is up to the plugin to determine whether
the presence of the conf parameter is mandatory.

Extend the PCM-rate plugin protocol to allow the host to query the
supported sample rates. The protocol version is bumped to 0x010002,
and the version number negotiaion is slightly changed.
Now the plugin is supposed to fill the version it supports in return.
The old versioned plugins are still supported, but they may spew
version-mismatch warning prints.

Created a new rate converter plugin SDK.
A rate converter can be replaced as an extra plugin now.
The default rate converter is a built-in linear converter.
You can find a sample external converter in alsa-plugins package.
