Set default sample rate to 96kHz #22

This changes the default sample rate for Pipewire (and its JACK/Pulse emulations) to 96000Hz.

Some/many pro-audio people (like me) need a higher sample rate than 44.1/48kHz for audio work to help preserve audio quality, and most DAWs are lazy and don't support resampling seamlessly. By changing the default sample rate to 96kHz, users won't have to dive into a terminal to change /usr/share/pipewire.conf and make this change manually, thus improving UX. This also wouldn't affect devices where the sample rate doesn't go as high as 96kHz because PW will adjust to that. Plus, it shouldn't be a large performance penalty because PW's resampling is fast and today's processors are really fast.

EDIT: Maybe it would be better to make it 192kHz instead, but that's up to you.
