 The part where you shouldn't use Skype to begin with because they're
 pirating GPL'd software, apparently.
 

Fine, then do you have a skype compatible software or any other voip software
that you can tell me how to use a bluetooth headset with?

BTW, I also use matlab, mathematica, nvidia drivers and a few other proprietary
software that I can't do without, sorry ...

using skype with a bluetooth headset

2009-09-20 Thread Micha Feigin 
I'm to get skype working with my bluetooth headset

I managed to get it paired using blueman-applet and even get audio on it from 
mplayer using:
player -ao alsa:device=bluetooth ~/Music/When\ I\ Grow\ Up.flac

I setup a .asoundrc file containing:

pcm.bluetooth {
type plug
slave {
pcm bluetooth_hw
}
}

pcm.bluetooth_hw {
type bluetooth
device 00:11:22:33:44:55
profile auto
}

And skype seems to know the bluetooth headset showing both bluetooth and
bluetooth_hw devices (mic and speaker) but when I try to use them I get the
sound output in the spears instead of the headset.

As this is a 64bit system I even tried extracting 
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_bluetooth.so
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so
from the 32bit packages but no difference

I tried to install pulseaudio earlier but it was in shambles (kept showing
connection refused messages and wouldn't work).

Any idea on what I'm missing?

Thanks
