Greetings; I'm still have one hell of a time with programs like skype
or ekiga, where the incoming sound is chopped up and repeated in a
long long echo that sounds like a stutterer after the 200th cup of
coffee for the day. And its intermittent, I used skypeOUT this morning
for about 10 minutes and it worked flawlessly for about 9, then it
started this stuttering and eventually hung the connection up without
my assistance. Looking at some traffic with tethereal (no thats not a
typo, I asked yum to install ethereal and thats what I got) I note
that it has to 'reassemble' the 'PDU' of the majority of the traffic
flowing over wlan0. Now, I'm not familiar with a 'PDU', so I have no
idea if this is related to an MTU miss-match or what. As this may have
something to do with my skype/ekiga problems, is there anything I can
adjust to alleviate this possibly erronious condition?

Gene, any chance you can run the same experiment but with a wired
network connection and not a laptop? My workstation plays music just
fine but my laptop behaves as you described when using either a wireless
LAN connection or a hardwire. The laptop plays music from either the
hard disk or from a network share (NFS over wireless) without a problem
but any attempt to listen to internet radio on it is pretty hopeless.
The laptop should have more than enough resources (1GB ram, Athlon64
2200+ CPU) but all I see are "congestion" warnings and what little sound
I get is all stuttery.
Cheers,
Dave
