I have a build from the same commit on el7 now, and have settings with 
which I don't see drift.  There's still some jitter in the sync values 
reported, the StdDevs are comparable with the larger AVSync2 increment 
that seems to be needed, and the CPUs are busier than in F30.  Perhaps 
that's just progress.

Depending on the audio setup, this can be inaccurate and the figure obtained can jump around the correct value. I suspect that your playback problems may be caused by this, resulting in video playback slowing down and speeding up inconsistently. When this is the case, setting the audio adjustment to the smallest value is the best solution.

Is that buffering lag within the new loop, and is there a similarly 
accessible lag on the video side?  Just asking...
