You case is almost 1 second delay while the previous one is less than 1 ms. Thus, in your case, it's either really a system latency such as disk overload or that the buffer DMA isn't properly updated or set up. In the previous case, less than 1 ms latency, it implies that the buffer and period setup is somehow weird. For example, it's set to the very small period or buffer size, which can easily result in buffer underrun. Check the hw_params constraints and snd_pcm_hardware setting.
