the "ll" (double L ) pronunciation in Icelandic
The rule I have read says that "ll" is pronounced "dl", so that a word like fullu or fallegur sound like fudlu and fadlegur. That all makes sense and I am fine with that.

My problem is with allt and alltaf. Every recording I can get my hands on seems to pronounce these words as if the "ll" were an "ff", so that allt becomes afft.

Am I hearing this correctly, or is there something I am missing?
