/* TODO:
 * The decision to oversample/interpolate should only be a baseband concern.
 * However, the baseband can't set up the radio (M0 code), so the apps also
 * need to know about the "actual" sample rate so the radio settings can be
 * applied correctly. Ideally the baseband would tell the apps what the
 * actual sample rate is. Currently the apps are telling the baseband and
 * that feels like a separation of concerns problem. */

/* HackRF suggests a minimum sample rate of 2M so a oversample rate is applied
 * to the sample rate (pre-scale) to get the sample rate closer to that target.
 * The baseband needs to know how to correctly decimate (or interpolate) so
 * the set of allowed scalars is fixed (See OversampleRate enum).
 * In testing, a minimum rate of 400kHz seems to the functional minimum.
 *
 * There are several different concepts or terms related to Capture and Replay,
 * (1) oversampling (x8, x16 ,...) / decimation (/8, /16...)
 * In Capture App , when ADC can not handle directly a requiered low sample rates ,
 * we need to apply oversampling (x8. x16 ex) , getting more real samples than needed) by "x_number" ,
 * and later to write it to SD card with the proper needed real sample rate , we apply Decimation  , "/ number" .
 *
 * (2) up-sampling or re-escale or interpolation. (x8, x16, ...)
 * In Replay-list App, when we got too low bit rate data for Hackrf ,
 * we need to upsampling or interpolate or resampling to increase those low bit rates
 * to a proper sample rate higher than the min. to be able to be transmitted by Hackrf.
