Yes, that is the case. All "sub"-sinks are now treated the same.

Currently the sampling rate of the combined sink is simply taken from
the server's default sampling rate or from the settings passed as
module arguments. But yes, for statically defined combined sinks
(i.e. those with a fixed list of "sub"-sinks) it might make sense to
deduce the sampling parameters from the "sub"-sinks at take the
"highest" of the settings of them for the combined sink.

Patches always welcome. Otherwise file a feature request bug and I
will look into it eventually.
