There is no code making any such decision. What kind of circumstances
does this occur in? How long are the delays you're talking about?

One possible cause for playback permanently breaking after a delay could
be a bug in your _audio_ driver which makes it break if a buffer
underrun occurs during the delay. You can test that by comparing the
behavior with -nosound.
