Observed Behavior:

When trying to set a session length less than “06:00:00:00”, Pro Tools returns an Response with an response_error_json with a command_error value of “PT_InvalidParameter”, a string. An error by this name does not exist in the CommandErrorType enumeration, and it is a string, and not an integer as required by the proto.

Pro Tools should return a response_error_json with a numeric command_error whose value exists in the CommandErrorType enumeration.
