Yeah but what about them? You don't handle them anyway -- should maybe
do a per-band setting? Basically right now you end up ignoring the rate
if it's not available.

Seems like the change got merged already, I'll send follow-up fixes soon.

That should really check that the rate is supported, and maybe that it's
a basic rate.

But what about band changes then?

That conversion loop really shouldn't be in the hotpath.
