Sorry for the spam, but you have a very serious smoking gun in your log:

D: [pulseaudio] alsa-util.c: Plug PCM: Direct Stream Mixing PCM

PulseAudio must not be running on top of dmix. dmix is the thing that, 
by default, uses 48 kHz and does not support dynamic rate change.

You have something wrong in your .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf. Please 
delete both files.
