Choppy AC3 audio with Bluetooth and MMDevice

When playing files with AC3 audio there are periodically these small pauses, in the logs this is visible with "main warning: playback too late (61933): up-sampling".

Works find in 2.2.8, problem is audible in vlc-3.0.0-20171228-0501-rc5-win64-debug.7z (from nightly builds).

This log was with Broadway-5.1-48khz-448kbit.ac3:
