The difference is that in the cases that work, you connect paplay directly to the remote pulseaudio server. In the stuttering case you connect to the local pulseaudio, and use the tunnel sink. For some reason tunnel sinks are more suspectible to stuttering than direct connections - it has been that way for a while, but nobody has really investigated what the reason is. -- Tanu
