Audio gap after pause/unpause

When resuming playback after pausing, audio starts to play immediately for a few millisecs, but then is missing for about 1 sec. An included video stream (if present) is not affected and plays flawlessly. Occurs with .mp3 and .mp4 formats (may be others).

Audio gap only occurs after pausing for more than 4 seconds and only using the headphone connector. Via built-in speaker unpausing is always fine (tested on ARMv8 running on Android 7.0).

The issue is still present in VLC 3.1.2 ARMv8 running on Android 7.0

Can be quite annoying, especially in situations requiring frequent pausing, like interview transcription or learning a foreign language vocabulary. I would appreciate very much if this could be fixed.
