Networked Pulseaudio "cuts" the sound


I've setup Pulseaudio so that I can direct the sound from my laptop to my media player (Raspberry PI), but there is a problem. For some reason the pulseaudio on PI starts to "cut" the sound every few minutes. By that I mean that the playback pauses for a short while several times and then continues. These "cuts" last a few seconds in total. I checked the CPU-usage of Pulseaudio on PI to see if that was the problem (PI is not terribly powerful), but Pulseaudio only seems to use around 20% CPU and there isn't much else happening on the PI, so that's not likely to be the problem. Any idea what could be causing these cuts and how could I fix them? Is there a way to increase some buffer or something?

--edit--

I also tried changing pulseaudio resampling method to see if that would help. It does the same even with "trivial" resampler (though the overall sound quality drops significantly). It seems to be a problem with wlan, but how come 54 Mbps (802.11g) isn't enough for pulseaudio?! The pi is using a wired connection. 150 MBps 802.11n would seem to work, but to me that sounds like excess use of bandwidth.
