Yes, I experienced bad skipping in several applications (OSS Skype via padsp , VLC and others). I managed to fix it by changing the default fragment settings in PulseAudio (and I believe kernel 2.6.24-17-generic helped a lot too). I posted a HOWTO on ubuntuforums dealing with this issue (and others): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4940541
Specifically see Part C, and be sure to follow the "optional" step if the new kernel doesn't help. Skipping may be related to bug #188226 or bug #190754.
