I'm experiencing this as well. After rebooting today for the first time since September 25, I noticed somewhat choppy audio over bluetooth, first with mp3s on disk, then tried Youtube and it was significantly worse. Same audio content over laptop speakers seems to play without problems. Attaching a pulseaudio verbose log in case that helps.
