Re: [gentoo-user] bluetooth and headset with gentoo...

["W.Kenworthy" <billk@iinet.net.au>]

To extend this thread - because of other apps I am using pulse and the
BT headset (Jabra Halo) generally works fine - my only problem is the
microphone when using sjphone which is an oss app.  I can hear audio,
pulse indicates it can hear me speaking but sjphone is silent so it
seems to be the oss mic thats the problem - any hints/ideas on what to
do?

.asoundrc is an audio part of configuration. bebore that you have to:

  * configure the kernel to support audio over bluetooth (these settings are for
    3.x kernel, for earlier versions these are slightly deffer from showed):

    CONFIG_BT=m
    CONFIG_BT_L2CAP=y
    CONFIG_BT_SCO=y

  * install net-wireless/bluez
  * configure and pair your headset with host bluetooth adapter using desktop
    applet - net-wireless/blueman in my case, or manually - hcitool etc
  * enjoy the result :)
