well, for that the client app needs to know it's talking to a BT headset rather than a /dev/dsp clone. I haven't looked into figuring this out. either way, this Logitech earpiece does not vibrate (waste of battery if it did) and it rings via the earphone, i.e. only audible if in your ear. then, hitting its tiny button tells the BT server to "answer the call", but the cleint softphone (or skype) needs to know about it somehow.

If you can have a "hub" program that can recieve BT commands, talk to a SIP softphone, Gizmo and Skype, you're on a roll. for extra points, have it work as a module from within Asterisk :) Asterisk is on my list of "to study" items.
