Audio output (a2dp) is skipping a lot

Hi.


I've got an Arctic P311 bluetooth headset[1] and on my PC, I'm using
a Hama Nano-Bluetooth-USB-Adapter Version 3.0+EDR Class1 dongle[2].
The system is a openSUSE 11.4 64bit PC with KDE 4.6.0 and PulseAudio
pulseaudio-0.9.22-6.11.1.x86_64.

I noticed, that the audio output in a2dp mode is quite "jerky" (haven't
tried the mono hsp mode). Not really surprisingly, I found a lot of
messages like the following in my /var/log/messages, when I grep for
"pulseaudio"[3]:

[…]
Sep 9 11:37:38 ewzw032 pulseaudio[2984]: module-bluetooth-device.c: Skipping 296858 us (= 52364 bytes) in audio stream
[…]

Sound thus sounds terrible.

When I then disconnect the Bluetooth connection and connect again, sound
is fine. At least most of the time - earlier today, sound was messed
up also right after building the connection.

Normally, I play music with Amarok. But I found, that even much more
simple commands like the following create bad output:

  paplay -d bluez_sink.00_1A_7D_60_67_1F -p /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav

  env PULSE_SINK=bluez_sink.00_1A_7D_60_67_1F \
    mpg123 -a pulse /home/ask/tmp/Test.mp3

In "lsusb", the BT dongle is this:

Bus 001 Device 048: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

You can find the "lsusb -v" output for this device on pastebin[4].

Is there anything that can be done about this?
