This is intended behaviour: module-pipe-sink does not rate limit what
you pull from it. It will not enforce any specify byte rate. if you
just pull the data out of it via "cat", then you will suck data out-of
it as fast as possible, regardless what sample settings you
configured.

You are expected to read from the pipe sink in a speed that remotely
matches the sample rate you configured.
