What kind of AirPort Express is it? 1st or 2nd generation? This page may
help you if you have no idea :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort_Express

Is this the regular pulseaudio or did you build any particular
branch/repo? Anyway, you may want to try to build & test this
branch :https://github.com/colinleroy/pulseaudio
It contains a refreshed implementation of pulseaudio's RAOP client. You
will, hopefully, get better results, especially if you have a recent
AirPort Express.

If you do so, please share your feedbacks here. Thanks!
