ActiveAE - large audio sync error leads to stuttering on video and requires restart

When playing video, having a look at the debug log, I see the following error which leads to the video either pausing or freezing completely. Stopping and restarting fixes the issue.

I also have this issue, but only on Live TV

TV sound starts in sync with video, then rapidly goes out. Can sometimes eventually get back in sync after a minute or 2

Also key information - only does this on MPEG2 streams, MPEG4 is OK.

RPi2, VDR (VNSI) plugin, Kodi 18.2. LE 9.02 (but also had the same issue with earlier LE9.01 and Kodi.

Partial log attached

I have heard that messing around with advanced settings.xml, but that made it worse for me, so out of ideas
