This sounds like the bitstreamout plugin receives a lot of data.
Maybe the audio data from current use _and_ the pcm data from
the mp3 playback.

This has nothing todo with the dvb driver. The problem is, that
decoding Mpeg Audio takes a while and this time is lost for
synchronization. And the HW buffer of the soundcard should
be filled a bit to be able to play soound upto the next data
is received and decoded. This is the reason why I use for
Mpeg Audio the J2 Jumper of the DVB card to redirect the output
to the internal S/P-DIF input of the sound card to be able to
loop the data through the sound card.
