Using GstAppSrc source leads to jerky sound on OpenSuSE 43.2 (PulseAudio)

[George Yunaev]

Followup: the same application binary plays well on another machine 
running the same operating system. The only difference is lack of 
PulseAudio an KDE on that machine. However I can't understand why this 
could affect GstAppSrc only, and not other sources.
