 My emu10k1 in one of my servers is a native 48KHz sound card, and it
 performs (not great quality) resampling in hardware.

 I would like to avoid resampling of audio as much as possible, preferring
 the high-quality PA resample algorithm instead of my sound card.
 Therefore, I have configured the module-alsa-sink on the machine with the
 sound card at 48 KHz, and I let PA do the resampling -- thus all clients
 that connect get high-quality resampling.

 Big problem though.  I'm attempting to make my desktop broadcast to
 several machines via RTP, using paprefs.  But the RTP sink plays at 44100
 KHz -- so now I have an extra sample rate conversion:

 - audio player outputs at 48khz (DIVX movies)
 - rtp sink resamples to 44.1
 - receiving side resamples to 48khz and outputs to the card

 Can it be possible to have the RTP sink broadcast at 48 KHz in paprefs?

 As a temporary measure I have downgraded my module-alsa-sink on the
 machine with the emu10k1 down to 44.1, but I'm not happy with how the card
 sounds using the card's reample-to-48 braindead policy and algo.
