  4) This mode accumulates latency. One of the reasons I wanted to avoid
     icecast is because of the near-3second latency that happens between
     the play/pause button on mpd, and the sound on the speakers.
     Initially this pulseaudio tunnel is near-instant, though any sort
     of network upset causes it to stutter into a latency it never
     recovers, so after several hours it could be many seconds latent. I
     once stopped timing it after 30 seconds of latency and just
     restarted it.


Yea, this is one of the most annoying properties of this set up. 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.
