The "test" device is defined as follows (should have put it in initially).

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.

Thanks Lennart. Gonna try it out now.
