In episode two, I hear you use an unvoiced velar (maybe glottal)  
trill when reading the holoalphabetic sentence, and when you say {xu}  
in the list of cmavo at the end.

For comparison purposes, I stuck a short recoding of both on my site.

I would suspect that if a Lojban speaker hears the velar fricative,  
the uvular fricative, or the velar trill, these are all close enough  
to get across the point that {x} was the intended phoneme. How were  
the original "allowed alternates" decided, and is it possible to add  
to these at some point?
