Respectfully, I'm not sure I understand what it is that you are 
suggesting.

Is it your intention to suggest that instead of adding controls to the 
machine driver, I should instead write a codec driver to contain those 
controls?

Or is it your intention to suggest that something within the kernel is 
already aware of the rate to be set, and it is that which should set the 
rate rather than a control?
