Sounds like a thing that the kernel should take care of. As I've been
saying, I haven't seen evidence that PulseAudio should be very
concerned about the packet timing.

The bluetooth code ignores default-fragment-size-msec, because
PulseAudio can't configure arbitrary hardware buffer sizes with bluez
like it can with alsa (and even alsa usually ignores that setting,
because it's better to adapt the hardware buffer size to client latency
requests when possible).
