Playing audio with PulseAudio and the bcm2835-pcm driver results in distorted sound. Timer-based scheduling does not properly work with bcm2835-pcm since configuring PulseAudio with tsched=0 avoids this problem.
Setting the SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BATCH flag prevents PulseAudio to use timer-based scheduling by default. Settings this flag makes audio works out of the box.
