me too

I just switched from Gentoo to Ubuntu Karmic. I have the same issue on both systems. My hardware is:

- MSI BToes 2.1 EDR Micro Bluetooth 2.1 USB 2.0 (bluetooth dongle)
- ARCTIC SOUND HEADSET P311

I don't have problems in Windows 7. The headset works quite well with my Android 2.1 phone, but from time to time (every minute or so) I have single tiny skips there as well.

I noticed a strange behavior: the first video/song/whatever after connecting the headset works fine. If there is no sound for some time, something in the chain (I don't know which device) goes to some kind of standby. I can hear that, since the headset is never absolutely silent, but produces a silent high-frequency noise. This noise changes after some time of missing output. Skipping starts only after this period. After disconnecting and reconnecting most of the time it works fine again.
