I have tried this patch (applied against pulseaudio 11.1 in Debian unstable, it applies with fuzz but works) and I saw a great improvement! My bluetooth chip is very susceptible to interferences, it was common for me to have a few seconds of delays. With this patch, the delay stays small at all times. The fact that it drops samples more aggressively was not noticeable for me because on drop out the speaker just stops anyway. I did not get any warning in the log, just debug messages about skipping.

Thank you for your work, I hope it will make it to mainline.
