Here are the logs using only the upstream pulesaudio modules. I see the same behavior with the upstream pulse audio modules as well. After 4th time, playback stops. Please share any clues of anything that I could be doing/using wrongly here.

I: sink-input.c: Created input 0 "/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" on alsa_output.pci_8086_800_sound_card_0 with sample spec s16le 1ch 48000Hz and channel map mono
I: protocol-native.c: Requested tlength=250.00 ms, minreq=20.00 ms
D: protocol-native.c: Traditional mode enabled, modifying sink usec only for compat with minreq.

E: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!
E: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver '(null)'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
