Hi Jeroen, I'm using exactly the same setup. 3 TL-WR1043ND with Pulseaudio and a USB soundcard, connected to each AP. I also struggled with stuttering, but currently it works almost flawlessly. I'm using Pulseaudio 2.0 on the openWRTs and Pulseaudio 1.1 on my notebook. Link to my modified Makefile for openWrt: http://pastebin.com/0aBBBxpS (openWRT currently has only support for pulseaudio 1.1) Furthermore I modified the patch, which openWRT is using for pulseaudio, but I don't know anymore, if it was finally needed. But you can try: http://pastebin.com/JybLZ4hT Perhaps it solves your problems. Regards, Henning Am Samstag, 9.
