Comment:

 I had exactly this problem, with both ubuntu provided 0.9.19 and 0.9.22
 from PPA/ricotz/unstable.

 The problem manifested only after the target system was running for a
 while (asrock nettop), mapping sound from the desktop to the asrock always
 works (but with audio that tries to catch up, i.e. much faster speed), but
 mapping it back to a local device the player is paused for a while, then
 continues. The delay before playing continues is a bit random, with a few
 sequential tests I observed 20s-120s.

 restarting pulseaudio there did not make any difference.

 But.. I then synced both system clocks using NTP and voila, perfect
 handovers!

 So somehow absolute clock is used in PA for relative stream positioning?
