I'm -1 on demoting and -1 on limiting the slider. There are circa 5 reports a
month of this from users of distro-packaged versions of Audacity, so I assume
speeds of 0.08 or lower are used. As Erik has confirmed, libsamplerate supports
between 1/256 and 256 x, the limitation is in Audacity with libsamplerate.

Thx for adding the patch (don't forget to add the "patch" keyword - I've done
that).
