As far as I can tell PulseAudio introduced a bug in 16.0
where if a stream is (un)paused too often the reported latency
will momentarily spike by 3000% or more. Apparently in certain cases
just pausing once and waiting can also cause this.
Save the remaining users of PA the trouble of debugging the various
obscure issues that can arise from this (desync is a harmless example)
by enabling the latency hack code again.
