Xavier,
Are you sure about this. The AP handles everything to do with roaming. All
the switch see's is the MAC of the AP. The AP's communicate over the wire
and know which clients are associated to each AP. When a client roams the AP
knows from which AP it roamed, and notifies that AP that the client has
roamed "over the wire". The switch has nothing to do with this process. The
client information is sent in beacons. On the AP side - LAN side, the AP's
coordinate the roaming process to minimize packet loss during switch over.
The transition from cell to cell may be performed in between packet
transmition. The problem your having sound's like a spanning tree problem.

In my experience, it doesn�t work well, my entire network got down because
of the Mac Address was learned in two different switches, it caused a loop.
Depending of the configurations, it also blocks the Mac Address of the
Infraestructure in order to avoid loops or broadcast storms, causing entire
data loss.
