There is obviously a bug in your software causing this.
In order to test this, try the "speaker-test" program that comes with
alsa-utils.
It can send pink noise, a single tone, or a .wav file to the sound card.
Another option is "aplay". If these two application deliver sound to the
sound card parfectly, then it is most certainly a bug in your software.
Without being able to view the source code, there is very little else we
can do to help you.
If these test programs, cause exactly the same problems that you are
getting with your software, we would need more detailed information
regarding your hardware.

e.g.
cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/version
