Oh yes. I thought you mentioned the semicolons as only artistic
formatting.

Title:
pulseaudio doesn't enforce sample rate set in daemon.conf
Status in PulseAudio:
Unknown
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Before submitting this bugreport I've went through the daemon.conf man page
and the pulseaudio documentation, but have not found a solution to my problem.
I've moved from Debian stable with
pulseaudio version 12.2-4+deb10u1 to Kubuntu 20.04 with
pulseaudio version 13.99.1-1ubuntu3.2.
I'm experiencing cracking issues on external USB audio device Xonar U3 while
listening to certain audio sources (system sounds included). This issue doesn't
happen when using my laptop's internal audio device.
Output of 'cat /proc/asound/card2/stream0' without audio stream running:
C-Media Electronics Inc. USB Advanced Audio Device at usb-0000:00:14.0-2,

Playback:

Format: S16_LE
Channels: 2
Endpoint: 2 IN (ASYNC)
Rates: 8000, 16000, 44100, 48000
Bits: 16
The following behaviour happens with default settings in
/etc/pulse/daemon.conf:
Xonar U3 plugged in, firefox running:
Momentary freq = 48000 Hz (0x30.0000)
Xonar U3 plugged in, Clementine/Strawberry audio player running:
Momentary freq = 44100 Hz (0x2c.199a)
Xonar U3 plugged in with Deadbeef set to override sample rate to 48kHz:
Momentary freq = 48000 Hz (0x30.0000)
I've modified the daemon.conf as follows:
; default-sample-format = s16le #no change on this line, this is
corresponding with the format the usb audio device suggests to be using
; default-sample-rate = 48000
; alternate-sample-rate = 48000
However, when running video or audio sources with 44100Hz audio, applications
do not respect the default-sample-rate and Momentary freq reports 44100Hz,
while other sources either send 48kHz by default or have no problem respecting
the setting (I've tried the game Into the Breach, VLC running 48kHz video and
audio files).

Checking syslog doesn't indicate any errors either, gist:

==Workarounds attempted==
Modifying /etc/pulse/default.pa to include:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
Even after killing&restarting pulseaudio, this did not resolve anything. It
also doesn't look like a good overall solution to the problem.
Modifying daemon.conf to:
; resample-method = src-sinc-best-quality
; avoid-resampling = true
Did not fix the issue.
It is not possible to roll back PA to a previous version in Kubuntu 20.04
without breaking dependencies of the Plasma desktop, so this was not attempted.
