Was that bursty stream still running during your tests last night? If not,
then I suspect that it may be the cause of the problems you experienced.  
Others have said today that most APs have no QoS support, and thus your
voice packets are just as likely to be dropped as the packets in that
stream when it bursts.

Cheers, Chris.
