Thanks for the pointers.  I was able to solve this by requesting a fixed size playback buffer at app startup.  Interestingly if I requested a 20ms buffer, the stutter was better but not gone.  30ms did the trick, and is acceptable for my app.  The code looks like this:

  NSError *setPreferenceError = nil;
  NSTimeInterval preferredBufferDuration = 0.030;
  [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setPreferredIOBufferDuration: preferredBufferDuration
                                                          error: &setPreferenceError];

Best regards,
-dan
