I don't know about Jonas' problem, but B you might find that your software
is set to mix the last few seconds of the song currently playing with the
first few seconds of the following song.

When you think about it, this is only reasonable to do if the two songs
have the same bit rate and bit depth.

I have seen this in Guayadeque, and to fix the problem I set the overlap
parameters to zero.

Then I have no problem going from one song to the next (either with
AudioQuest DragonFly or Schiit Bifrost).  This is all under late model
Ubuntu (13.10 for instance).

As for pulseaudio, I don't need to remove it.  I just make sure my default
pulse device is the built-in sound card and I use either the A-Q or a
XONAR-DX with the Bifrost via optical for music, and I set Guayadeque or
mpd to work with the appropriate device.
