Yes. No. Er, maybe.

Each driver has a certain limit for the buffer size.  The ALSA framework
preallocates memory for the buffer, but usually only half the limit.
You can increase the amount by writing a new value into
/proc/asound/cardX/pcm*/sub*/prealloc.

The limit is sometimes just an arbitrary value invented by the driver
writer, but in many cases a hard limit of the hardware.

What driver are you using?
