Comment(by charding):

 Using static IP when loading the module works a bit better but I still get
 choppy sound. When I use rhythmbox and at the same time while playing
 music, have pavucontrol open and switch back and forth from my local
 speakers to the AE, it sometimes "fixes" the choppiness and plays totally
 smooth.

 I have a server where I stream my music (sshfs) to my laptop and then to
 the AE. This really causes choppiness: if the music is playing smoothly
 and I then load a new album into rhythmbox. I assume this is because it is
 taking more bandwidth on the network to download the songs into rhythmbox.

 Monitoring gkrellm during this whole process, I find I can switch back to
 the AE (pavucontrol) to get smooth playback once network consumption is
 ~150-300k on the network. I get skipping when the traffic is less than
 100k.
