important information. my laptop connects to a wireless router over a password protected (authenticated) connection, I was checking the system log and noticed many backtraces from the kernel relating to the wireless driver, went to network mannager applet, edit connection, filled in the BSSID setting and check the box that says system setting, after this I open a couple of network aware applications (gtk-gnutella, bittorrent client) open a totem window start to listen stream radio, no skips, seems to me the wpa disosiation and reasociation was taking place too often causing the driver to spike the cpu ussage and therefore causing skips on the sound system.
