That is what I mean by "glitching", it stops and starts during playback. I
have the same issue with Amarok and any other audio that I play, certainly
during "startup" of the audio track.

There are other bugs against Pulse in bugzilla describing the icon
problems you describe with sound stopping and starting so maybe add you
symptoms and hardware to those?
