amazon recently lists a surprising number of them. when i tried to buy such a thing a few months ago, it was hard work, to find one -- finally i got the sonyericson hbh-ds 220. so far nice, but has a very small mind -- it can't remeber more than one device it was paired to, which is considered the comparativley high price then, ridiculous. finally tired of that linitation i recently got the "suvil clipfree mobile bt", much cheaper, remembers at least three devices, though with issues -- with my netbook (eeepc) with pulseaudio music is choppy and needs hciconfig hci0 lm master; hciconfig hci0 lp hold,sniff,park to be ... uhm ... less choppy. with my thinkpad and that command it's rather ok, but far below the claimed range of 10m. due to the hassle to use a bt headset with the freerunner so far (with fso, i tested a cheap jawbone -- but fso did not switch back to gsmhandset.state when no headset was available, bt still does not survive suspend/resume, all in all, bt is not suitable for daily use) i did refrain from testing both of these headset, but i'd expect at least the sonyericsson to work. for plain alsa, ie audio output, i don't really expect difficulties. i created the .asoundrc with pcm.bluetooth { type bluetooth device XX:XX:... #headset's mac here profile "auto" } ctl.bluetoothsu { type bluetooth device XX:XX:... #headset's mac here profile "auto" } following those arcane ritual texts of the bluez worshippers and tried the prayer arecord -D bluetooth -f S16_LE | aplay -D bluetooth -f S16_LE which surely was not answered (did not hear myself like i did on my thinkpad), but no error appeared neither. thus, probably only a correct state file is necessary. since i am still don't understand the state file lingo (and still am surprised to see, that the names of the controls in alsamixer do not match the names listed in the state file), i am incapable to write such a sacred text myself and humbly hope one of the priests of the bluez and alsa church will do that ... ps: for those with write access to the wiki: i got a very cheap (got it as a gift from some shop) jawbone called PBH-8W working once. due to the problems mentioned above i did not really try again. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
