Right. If the struct is modified though it should be per device and not 
global. I think the best way to implement this is to make the array static 
and specify a mask for the constraint based on the EDID. E.g.

static unsigned int hdmi_rates[] = {
	32000,
	44100,
	48000,
	88200,
	96000,
	176400,
	192000,
};

rate_mask = 0;

while (...) {
	...
	rate_mask |= 1 << sad[1];
}

rate_constraints->list = hdmi_rates;
rate_constraints->count = ARRAY_SIZE(hdmi_rates);
rate_constraints->mask = rate_mask;

I think that's a bug. Both snd_pcm_hw_constraint_mask() and 
snd_pcm_hw_constraint_mask64() should be exported. Can you send a patch?
