It means the Windows audio engine will definitely not work at any sample rate
below 10 Hz or above 384 kHz.

Thank you Matthew!
Regarding this maximal value of AUDIO_MAX_FRAMERATE 384000.0 // Maximum frame
rate for APOs")
This means, this value my raised to any value :D (below the supported number
format)
Cheers

audioenginebaseapo.idl in the SDK exposes these constants:
cpp_quote("// Min and max framerates for the engine")
cpp_quote("#define AUDIO_MIN_FRAMERATE 10.0 // Minimum
frame rate for APOs")
cpp_quote("#define AUDIO_MAX_FRAMERATE 384000.0 // Maximum
frame rate for APOs")

Is there any known limitation on the audio sample rate (this means, lower than
the given integer value)...
Or in other words 768kHz or any higher rates will be supported by the OS using
Windows 7/8/10 & WDM & WASAPI & WASAPI Exclusive interface?
Why? That's not audio. That's radio. The AM radio band begins at 530kHz.
The range of human hearing ends somewhere below 30kHz.
Or is there any other limitation by the underlying HW device architecture?
The HDAudio spec, which is dominant today, is limited to 192kHz. Even that is
overkill.
