[Timeline] Changing PlayableDirector.time causes gaps in audio
Reproduction steps:
1. Open project in "AudioLoopTest.zip"
2. Select "Sound" in Hierarchy window
3. Window -> Sequencing -> Timeline
4. Notice how audio track in the Timeline has no gaps
5. Enter Play Mode
Expected results: when "loop.cs" script changes PlayableDirector.time there will be no gaps in the audio played
Actual results: each time PlayableDirector.time is changed there is a gap and a crack noise in the audio played
Reproducible with: 2017.4.33f1, 2018.4.12f1, 2019.2.10f1, 2019.3.0b8, 2020.1.0a9
Notes:
1. Audio file format does not seem to influence the results (checked with .mp3 and .wav)
2. In some Unity versions, you might need to reattach TimelineAsset(SoundTimeline) to "Sound" Playable Director as it is removed.

Latest issues
- "WebGL Template" icons disappear when building the project with the Project Settings opened
- Variant Family window UI issues when Prefab title is long
- Player crash when switching focus in Exclusive Fullscreen mode with DirectX 12
- Too little validation messages in the "WebAssembly Language Features" Memory settings
- Project Settings Search Highlights are misaligned when using the Bitmap Text Rendering Mode
Resolution Note (2020.1.X):
This is expected behaviour. The audio system needs to know ahead of time about loop sections, and changing playableDirector.time will cause an immediate re-seek and delay/pop in the sound.
