The playbackrate is the speed at which the audio/video is played.
The original speed is 1.0 and the rate is the multiplication of the initial speed.
If the playbackrate is set to 0.5, you get the audio or video played in slow motion.
If the rate is set to 1.5, the audio or video would be fast-forwarded.
