Set different sample rate for different audio controllers with PulseAudio

How would one set different samplerate for each audio controller on a system using PulseAudio ?

Default configuration file seems to have nothing for audio controller specific configuration and seems to be general. udev rules 60-persistent-alsa.rules, 78-sound-card.rules and 90-alsa-restore.rules does not seem to set a samplerate or call pulseaudio explicitly.
