When I played with this two variables on the laptop, the frecuencies were rounded to the nearest frecuency supported by the usb sound card, this did not happen when I changed the values on the raspberry, and we talk of the same sound card. It doesn't matter what I put is was always "Device front:1 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz". it sounds like PA did a fallback to a "safe" sample rate.

I have looked. Your log contains this line:

I: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Device front:0 doesn't support 44100 Hz, 
changed to 48000 Hz.

So this is not a PulseAudio problem. Maybe some ALSA misconfiguration. I 
have to guess here, unfortunately.

Could you please post the output of the following debugging commands 
(they play one second of silence and describe how they do it) while 
PulseAudio is not running?

aplay -vv -d 1 -f cd -D hw:0 /dev/zero

aplay -vv -d 1 -f cd -D front:0 /dev/zero
