You can expect that. They're all the same 16-bit signed and interleaved PCM
format at this time. Samplerate is the only option for audio data itself
which does have defines for the platform. It shouldn't be assumed playback
and recording rates match perfectly. It shouldn't be assumed full-duplex is
available. It shouldn't be assumed that if duplex is available that record
and playback will match when looping (Austria Microsystems cases).

I hope that clears up any questions.
