Just to add my own input, I have these same "cuts" in audio playback when streaming from the RPi 3 out to a bluetooth speaker. If I connect my phone to Moode and play via the 3.5mm headphone output the sound is perfect. When just using Moode and the bluetooth speaker the sound keeps cutting out for a fraction of a second. In my case, the "cuts" are frequent - every few seconds but they are a few milliseconds long - enough to notice.
I have a good internet connection to the Pi via ethernet and using the onboard bluetooth. The speaker is in clear line of sight, just about a meter away. Could be interference as there are a few wifi and bluetooth devices 5 to 10 meters away - have this setup at my workplace.
I tested with low bitrate internet radio 112kbps / 128kbps, then slightly higher bitrate 320kbps. Also tested a flac audio file on the SD card - all of which had the same problems.
I'm setting up another Pi at home where there should be less interference and can test by playing to an Amazon echo dot.
If there are any commands I can run, or things I can help test, please let me know as I'd be happy to help resolve this.
