You're using dsp2 , so I assume you are using the btaudio sound device. 
The bttv documentation expressly states the audio rate of this device is
32000Hz (and I can confirm this)

Given that 0.65 * 48000 is around 32000, this is indeed the problem. 
Solve it by setting the audio rate to what you're actually getting:
32000Hz.
