Yan, I've not yet played with my BT headset a ton, so can't help you much (yet).
I did try it out in ubuntu 9.04, and didn't get very far, while I could get the BT headset to work briefly in sound recorder, I never managed in Ekiga (and the functionality in sound recorder was brief and unstable at best). I'm now running the alpha 4 of karmic which, I'm told has much improved BT support, will let you know how it goes if I can get it to work well outside of Ekiga. ------Original Message------ From: Yan Seiner Sender: [email protected] To: Ekiga mailing list ReplyTo: Ekiga mailing list Subject: Re: [Ekiga-list] Bluetooth headset support Sent: Aug 23, 2009 06:48 gegetel wrote: > On 08.23.2009 02:51, *Yan Seiner* wrote : > >> I've been setting up ekiga for my distributed family (spread out on 3 >> continents).

From what I can puzzle out of your HOWTO, it involves bluetooth-alsa; it won't build right now. Oh well, I'm going to try to find a wired USB headset. -- o__ ,>/'_ o__ (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ A day may come (_)\(_) ,>/'_ o__ when the courage of men fails, (_)\(_) ,>/'_ when we forsake our friends and break all (_)\(_) bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
