This may be dumb and/or obvious, but are you playing music on either
machine making the call?  Since kiax uses soundcard audio it's possible
for music output from a music player (amarok, winamp etc) to get into
the audio stream, especially if you're using something like Arts or ESD
to mux audio.

Incidentally I use kiax all the time with no strange music sources
noted.

Just a thought.
