Yes, there are practical limits to the decimation/interpolation rates you
can choose. In general, you want to pick an even decimation/interpolation,
and in general, you want to pick a rate that is divisible by 4. This
enables the use of both the halfband filters. Valid
decimation/interpolation values range from 4 to 512.
