It works with aplay. My issue is that the pulseaudio server cannot load alsa plugins since 1.0.20 (as far as I can tell, ubuntuforums has a thread which suggested as such). When I queried the pulse ML, Lennart posted the below reply, which I've forwarded here to alsa-devel.
Basically, the issue as Lennart sees it is summarized by his last 3 paragraphs (bottom of this mail). He specifies the difference between the way alsa is reacting to pulse and the way it 'should'.
After the discussion we had on alsa-devel about the ordering how buffer size and period size are initialized i have now changed PA git to try harder to initialize those values. Would be good if you could check if that actually makes your problem go away.
