Very Cool feature!  Why not change sample_spec totally according to
sink's availability, but only sample rate? The default sample_spec
used at initialization, if alsa driver supports various formats/rates,
 PA could change sink's sample_spec in order to fit sink-input's
request. Is there any risk or my misunderstanding ?
