>From "man pulse-daemon.conf":
default-sample-rate= The default sample frequency.
alternate-sample-rate The alternate sample frequency. Sinks and
sources will use either the default-rate-rate value or this alternate
value, typically 44.1 or
48kHz. Switching between default and alternate values is
enabled only when the sinks/sources are suspended. This option is
ignored in passthrough mode where
the stream rate will be used. If set to zero, this feature is
disabled.
So this only allows you to configure two "native" sample rates. If you
supply data in a third, different sample rate, then PA will still do
automatic resampling as needed.
