btpand(8)

2016-04-21 Thread Andy Ball 

Hello,

I'm interested in experimentally using Bluetooth to connect
a handful of NetBSD hosts (probably Raspberry Pi boards).  Has
anyone used btpand(8) in ad-hoc mode?

Great.  I'll switch to pkgsrc-current and shut my whine-hole.

Twisted :-)

Another way might be to set up a null sink.  Then you'd have a very
inefficient, resource-intensive /dev/null for sound.  As long as your
other apps. don't use Pulse, then it'd give the desired effect.
