Perhaps try experiment with --buffer-size option instead of 
--buffer-time (a.k.a. -B) for aplay.  Both because that might be more 
exact, and because - judging from its manpage - there may be some 
internal fallback defaults when arguments are outside of acceptable 
range, so you may not be testing your actual values.

...but I am just guessing here - not experienced in this field.
