This bug still exists in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and (re)reported in Red Hat
Bugzilla's  as bug 749366, so I believe we need a new bug report to get
a fix for this into a 12.04.x point release?

If Andrei's patch to increase bitpool in bluetooth daemon fixes this
problem then the problem _is_ in bluez and changing the settings bluez
uses via options to hciconfig (that aren't documented in it's man page)
is only a workaround.

I reproduced this choppy audio playback during mouse movements with the 
combination of:
* Kernel: 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64
* Bluez: 4.98-2ubuntu7
* Jabra BT620s
* Logitech Bluetooth Mouse M555b
* Onboard Bluetooth in a VAIO-Z2 (connected internally via USB): ID 8086:0189 
Intel Corp.

Disconnecting my devices, then following Jen's instructions in comment
#23 and re-pairing my devices worked for me as a workaround for this
issue in bluez's link management. I will try using the uDev rule to make
this workaround permanent across reboots. I've since streamed DI.fm
without stutter for several hours whilst using my M555b mouse at same
distance from the laptop as my Jabra bluetooth headset.

After applying the hciconfig changes, and reconnecting both headset &
mouse (as only devices connected) my "hciconfig -a" output is:
