Since I never saw the point of PulseAudio, I've set up Bluetooth streaming on a system without it. Surprisingly, this is actually very simple and works out of the box. Note that if you have PulseAudio installed, you may have to disable the bluez/PulseAudio/sound integration.
SETUP Install bluez (v5) Install 'BlueALSA' (https://github.com/Arkq/bluez-alsa) (packages available for Gentoo, Arch, maybe others. It seems that in Ubuntu, the package is the old (=wrong) version for bluez4) Installation for Gentoo: Code: -------------------- emerge -av media-sound/bluez-alsa net-wireless/bluez -------------------- Connect device (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX = your device address): Code: -------------------- raspi ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start raspi ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/bluealsa start raspi ~ $ bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# power on [bluetooth]# scan on [bluetooth]# discoverable on [bluetooth]# agent on [bluetooth]# default-agent [bluetooth]# pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX [bluetooth]# trust XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX [bluetooth]# connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX [bluetooth]# scan off [bluetooth]# discoverable off [bluetooth]# exit -------------------- PLAYBACK / STREAMING TO BLUETOOTH DEVICE: Code: -------------------- squeezelite -s localhost -o "bluealsa:HCI=hci0,DEV=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,PROFILE=a2dp" -r 48000-48000 -a 40:4:16:1 -R -u vE -------------------- RECORDING / STREAM FROM BLUETOOTH DEVICE pair / connect your device (e.g. phone) as described above install the WaveInput plugin create a favorite with a URL like Code: -------------------- wavin:bluealsa:HCI=hci0,DEV=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,PROFILE=a2dp -------------------- Tested on a RPi3 (integrated Bluetooth adapter) with a Bluetooth headphone / Android phone.
