Are you using digital passthrough AC3 by any chance over spdif ?

A ticket wouldn't help much unless you can provide actual data : logs
of when it occurs etc...

I have rewritten the AC3 encoder which I think could have introduced
audio corruption before.

The 0.24 branch in my repo contains the same audio code as the current
0.25/master .. So identifying all the problems sooner than later is
welcomed.
