That would be unusual and, unfortunately, a reproducer is still lacking because of a very poor bug report. I don't see any reason why an odd number of bytes would be sent to PA. E.g. I wouldn't expect an audio file decoder to return an incomplete frame (here 3 bytes instead of 8). Also, with the given log messages: Nov 10 01:10:49 deer pulseaudio[1780]: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Client sent non-aligned memblock: index 0, length 23, frame size: 8 Nov 10 01:10:49 deer pulseaudio[1780]: [pulseaudio] protocol-native.c: Client sent non-aligned memblock: index 23, length 8169, frame size: 8 8169+23 = 8192 would match the maximum buffer size of what is sent to the PA output driver (e.g. as filled by mpg123 input), but pa_stream_write is not called with an "index" parameter. So, that one seems to be something internal. Somehow I have the feeling there's another component involved, e.g. something inbetween Audacious and Pulse Audio daemon.
