how would that happen?

if it asks for a specific rate via hw_params, it will either get it,
or fail.  if it doesn't ask for a specific rate, it will get whatever
the h/w is using (some default and/or the value set by an external clock).

you can get it by just asking the device what rate its using, or by
knowing that your hw_params request completed successfully.

what about checking in read/write operations, in case the external
clock has changed?
