while it offers a good discussion of timing issues related to audio,
the conclusion that choosing optimal buffering metrics is "impossible"
is questionable, and the "solution" offered means software authors
don't really have to consider the timing issues, which means they
probably won't.  otoh, with a decent audio API, applications can
implement "glitch-free" playback themselves.

can't say that's necessarily what's going on here, but reading that
objectively may give some clues on what's going on with the audio
in this and other applications where the audio isn't quite right.
