What about changing one thing at a time and use WLAN to stream to your 
iPaq. How is the quality now?

But first thing would be to capture a stream from ffmpeg into a file and 
open that with vlc on your desktop machine (or on the same machine the 
ffmpeg server is). How is the quality now?

After the first two test move in bluetooth. If all was well in previous 
steps, then the data cannot travel correctly over your bluetooth link.
