 Random Notes:
 - You cannot change the algorithm after initialization.
 - It is recommended to keep the mal_resampler object aligned to MAL_SIMD_ALIGNMENT, though it is not necessary.
+- Ratios need to be in the range of MAL_RESAMPLER_MIN_RATIO and MAL_RESAMPLER_MAX_RATIO. If you need extreme ratios
+  then you will need to chain resamplers together.
