'Twas brillig, and Josu Lazkano at 16/08/09 23:45 did gyre and gimble:
Hello everybody, I am tryin to get working my bluetooth headset with
pulseaudio to speak over Skype.
Don't. For two reasons.
1. Pulse does not currently support *recording* from BT devices (tho
initial patches are available for this so it will come soon).
2. Skype does odd things with alsa and does not work nicely with the
alsa->pulse plugin. A fabled "new" version of Skype has been rumoured
since about March that purports to address this, but I wouldn't hold
your breath.
I have Jabra BT2010 and I use Debian Lenny with official packages.
I installed thoose packages to get working my headset: apt-get install
bluez-utils bluez-gnome bluez-audio
And this is my .asoundrc config:
pcm.bluetooth {
type plug
slave {
pcm "bluetooth_hw"
}
}
pcm.bluetooth_hw {
type bluetooth
device 00:1D:82:xx:xx:xx
# profile "auto"
profile "voice"
}
I can create an audio file with this command:
This is an old way of doing things. The correct way moving forward is
direct pulse<->bluez integration which is where all the development is
focused. GUI tools already work this out automatically without need for
hacking config files.
