For any support from you I would thank you. I use GNOME and PulseAudio. It just works. You go to Bluetooth Settings, add a new device, detect the headset, do the pairing and that's it. You can dynamically change from the headset to the built in sound card (or cards), or set individual programs to work with the headset (like Skype, for example). I'm using GNOME 3.0 and PulseAudio 1.0, but it worked like this since GNOME 2.2x.

Re: [gentoo-user] bluetooth and headset with gentoo...
I am not interisted in Pulseaudio. I am using freeswitch, and Portaudio doesn't support PulseAudio, therefor I need to make it with bluez and to make a alsadevice for in/output. This is the problem. What you advised, doesn't work for me. the hell I know why. I added the device, and the headset was in discovery mode. I added it, okay. but even though on pulseaudio I don't see the device at all. however, I need to see it as an alsa device. this is my problem. But thanks so far Tamer Am 06.01.2012 05:47, schrieb Canek Peláez Valdés: On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 10:39 PM, Tamer Higazi th9...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi people!

it's not a problem, according to alsa docs http://alsa.opensrc.org/.asoundrc
pcm.genius {
type bluetooth
}
pcm.genius-in {
type plug
slave {
pcm genius
rate 48000
}
}
ctl.genius {
type bluetooth
}
does it all: the headset works pretty good with audio apps i'm using in that
context: skype and mplayer -ao alsa:device=genius. however i have no clue on how
to integrate bluetooth audio with desktop (gnome2 in my case). without
pulseaudio of course. anyone did that?

.asoundrc is an audio part of configuration. bebore that you have to:
* configure the kernel to support audio over bluetooth (these settings are for
3.x kernel, for earlier versions these are slightly deffer from showed):
CONFIG_BT=m
CONFIG_BT_L2CAP=y
CONFIG_BT_SCO=y
* install net-wireless/bluez
* configure and pair your headset with host bluetooth adapter using desktop
applet - net-wireless/blueman in my case, or manually - hcitool etc
* enjoy the result :)

Re: [gentoo-user] bluetooth and headset with gentoo...
To extend this thread - because of other apps I am using pulse and the
BT headset (Jabra Halo) generally works fine - my only problem is the
microphone when using sjphone which is an oss app. I can hear audio,
pulse indicates it can hear me speaking but sjphone is silent so it
seems to be the oss mic thats the problem - any hints/ideas on what to
do?
