Can you try again with the version?

It'll either be 0.9.10 or 0.9.14... 9.10.4 is not an upstream version 
number (the extra .4 could be a debian package subrelease but I'm not 
familiar with that scheme)

If you are using 0.9.14 then I'd suggest disabling glitch-free may be an 
option.. i.e passing tsched=0 to module-alsa-sink. If it's 0.9.10 then 
this will have no effect as it already uses that mode in the older version.
