I think just checking for != 0 isn't enough. A samplerate of 1 might
be valid, but isn't. I mean, it wouldn't produce anything audible. A
min. samplerate of e.g. 1000 seems appropriate, and for many gaming
formats, a max of e.g. 192000 might also be useful.

Similar restrictions might apply to other properties.
