You can make small change to emu10k1.c (#define EMU_DEFAULT_BUFSZ EMUPAGESIZE*8) or set hint.pcm.0.buffersize="32768" (assuming your card is pcm0) in your kernel hints file and you should see better playback of long files. This change will also bring you problem with very small files (less than EMU_DEFAULT_BUFSZ) - you will not hear them or only hear a small portion, like first (?) 4096 bytes.
