I don't think we should base too much on headers present
in distros.  Looking at pcm_rate.h however, it seems we
only define this one thing (upstream has several more),
and it ended up not being used in this version.
I see by the function whose prototype uses this that
it got fully imported (entry in ArchInt and in Parameter)
and was marked a 3.2 candidate, but got left out at the end.
