It might be a buggy sound driver or it may siomply be that Windows does
not specify the behavior. After all it's always possible to remap a 2MHz
sampling rate to 44.1kHz...

So in doubt it seems best to just remove that test. Or currently just
modify it to check for invalid bits per sample values in the hope it's a
more robust test. If not we could also remove the test altogether.
