The sound output is missing parts and it gets worse over time. In module-loopback.c, function static void update_min_memblockq_length(struct userdata *u), at some point length = pa_memblockq_get_length(u->memblockq); returns zero. This correlates with start of the chopping. Sometimes it happens right at the start, sometimes a bit later, but always within 1-2 minutes. AFAIU this is only a symptom and the cause lies somewhere between module-tunnel-sink and module-loopback or even within PA core. Your thoughts? Could someone please try to reproduce this? Zrin
