I haven't tried with VLC specifically, but I noticed it with other programs (e.g. OBS when I switch to a scene that plays music, some other programs). At first I suspected a broken file but I'm pretty sure that's not it. I guess in my case it's either an issue with OBS, the decoder or PA. I do get a pop before and after playing a file using mpv or vlc, which may be some PA connect/disconnect thing. I'd expect that to be entirely avoidable, but oh well... The skip a second or further in is weirder, I haven't noticed it in vlc. Can you give more detail, the song/format used, vlc version, Linux version? Maybe someone can reproduce.
