no, you're right, but i think we have a few options:

* contrary to what i suggested, don't prioritize rate-in/out, but only use it when 'rate' is not set
* delete rate-in/out when setting the rate via the gui
* as you suggested in the other response, only keep rate-in and rate-out but expose both
   (although i can already see the confusion about what is 'in' and what is 'out' regarding sync 
direction)
* (other suggestions?)
