I've run across this issue too, using Ekiga. Audio output is choppy for a few seconds, and then usually drops altogether -- which can cause Ekiga to hang for a few seconds or more. Unfortunately it's unusable. However from testing this a bit further, sound input is not interrupted the way playback is. Users on the other end of the call report hearing me even though I cannot hear them.

I've run a verbose log ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log ) which I hope might be useful. In this case, I started pulseaudio, started Ekiga and made an echo test call, then hung up. The log is for about 60 seconds of activity.

This is the only application I have audio quality issues with.

Hope this helps!
