CPUidle entry/exit latencies are certainly bringing the issue
about, I am not an audio expert but I suspect buffering should
be tuned to cope with those _increased_ latencies or possibly
idle states disabled for certain specific use cases - there
is no silver bullet, entering deep idle states will increase
latencies, there is no way around it.
I am happy to help you debug the issue further.
