Ok, can't do much regarding madlib itself, but I have a cunning plan that
might (hopefully should) work...

Currently the mad output callback to output the actual audio has to wait
while the audio is played before the next callback can occur. This in
combination with it not being able to perform quick enough input callbacks
for 320kbs (with the output delay) seems to lead to the jitter.

If we introduce a largish buffer into which mad puts the audio, with a
separate thread actually playing the audio, then even if mad stumbles the
audio should remain uninterrupted... This should also allow tts to be
injected with less of a delay.

Anyway, this isn't a simple change but will try it out as soon as I have
the
time.
