Ubuntu - 10.04 Lucid Lynx - Bluetooth Music A2DP skipping

Just paired my HTC BTH-2100 headphones to my work laptop and after pairing / configuring the sound stream was greated with skipping / stuttering audio.

You need to enable BT Master connections to fix this by doing the following:
# sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
Replace "lm accept;" with "lm_accept,master;"
Save the file
# sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop
# sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
