Description of Problem:
Any playback stutters intermittently while pavucontrol is open. Sometimes playback is clear, but every so often playback stutters for some time, less than a minute, before clearing again.
How Reproducible:
Guaranteed to happen whilst pavucontrol-qt is open. Guaranteed NOT to happen if pavucontrol-qt is quit.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Start playback from any source (mplayer, vlc, zoom, brave) through any device (bt headphones, analog speaker output)
- Open pavucontrol-qt and leave it open
- Playback will be for the most part clear, but every few minutes will stutter for 30-45 seconds.
Actual Results:
Playback will be for the most part clear, but every few minutes will stutter for 30-45 seconds.
Expected Results:
Playback should remain clear and stutter free

This appears similar to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=279470 but seems unresolved in 0.3.59-r2 and instead of being constant, it's intermittent, almost sinusoidal in occurrence.
