If my_own_device is defined as a hw device, no.

aplay is more a debugging tool for driver than an example for application
writers.

There is no guarantee that ALSA devices support any particular period
or buffer sizes.

I've looked into chan_alsa.c; it doesn't take the actual period size
into account when setting the buffer size (so it could be possible that
the buffer is too small), and it doesn't abort on errors (so the actual
device parameters could be anything).
Are there any error messages in the asterisk log?
