Ekiga has very choppy sound

I've tried running Ekiga both on 32 and 64 bit Arch, and I can't seem to get it to function correctly. What's happening is I get really choppy sound. I believe that all of my sound system is functioning properly, and I could run Skype under 32 bit just fine (when I had 32 bit). I've tried changing the audio codecs with only minor changes in the results. I've turned off echo cancelation. I've played with the jitter settings. Nothing seems to fix it. My best guesses are:

1) The codecs simply don't like my audio components (or visa-versa).
2) Ekiga is running at a too nice 'nice' level or
3) The Ekiga SIP server sucks ass (500@ekiga.net is my test site)

Does anyone here have any ideas other than setting up a chroot environment?

I tried twinkle just to see if SIP clients work. Twinkle works fine with the 500@ekiga.net test site. Ekiga is the problem. What am I missing?
