Thanks for testing.  A possible difference of speaker-test from others
is that speaker-test tends to set up with the larger period and buffer
sizes.  I guess the same problem could be seen when you run aplay with
the same parameters shown in /proc/asound/card*/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params,
too.

As a blind shot: might the stall be avoided by passing the recently
introduced chip->playback_first flag?  The revised patch is below.
