Ok, I tested again and found that sound is actually played (with and 
without system timer), but:
1. The volume is extremely low. I had not only set volume to maximum in  
alsamixer but also set my audio 5.1 system volume to maximum to hear a 
sound.
2. The sound is very slow and glitchy. It plays much slower that it 
should and constant glitches occur.

Attaching dmesg output.
