It is really annoying since it's almost a given over wifi. I guess to recover from intermittent latency increases you would need to skip some audio data which is as hearable as the drop that caused the latency increase in the first place. To avoid that you'd have to disable latency increase entirely. I can imagine a solution where you increase the playback speed (and pitch) slightly to recover but I don't think that's implemented. So while I find the latency accumulation hugely annoying as well I don't know a way out with the current code. But I would love to see this fixed. Best regards.
