Problem does not occur with libpulse 15
Summary
Video playbacks become desynced. Sometimes, when a video is unpaused, the video will play slower than the audio, causing it to fall behind. Every few seconds, the video will skip back to the correct time, but will fall behind again. This will happen for a while until the issue fixes itself.
Steps to reproduce
Use Chrome, Firefox, or mpv and play this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucZl6vQ_8Uo
Leave it paused for a few minutes, then unpause.
What is the current bug behavior?
Video playbacks become desynced.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Videos should sync with audio.
