Loud click on headphones during audio/video playback

Sometimes when starting media player or video playback in gallery, I hear a loud click on headphones. It's not always reproducing so maybe it's related to some specific power saving scenario. The click is almost painfully loud. Used cheap Sony in-ear plugs with jolla SW 1.0.2.5.
I hope this is solvable with SW updates.
Still reproducing with 1.0.8.21 SW and various head phones and ear plugs.
Found a way to reproduce: listen to music, receive new email, and the new email notification (which is too loud as well) produces a loud click in the end before switching back to music. Music playing itself doesn't produce the clicks/pops.

You can't actually hear the short notification sound itself because these ear hurting clicks before and after notification sound. There could be some sort of fade in and fade out for the system sounds during audio/video playback to prevent unwanted cliks and distortions.
