it is probably a couple of weeks work; the specification document is not that thick.. > Would it be something done in-kernel?

I would use that (or something like, since I don't know how similar the FreeBSD kernel audio interface is to the NetBSD one) and provide a userland program to just route the audio back into a RFCOMM socket after conversion. > What about supporting data sources that will happily supply a > supported bitrate/encoding type?

(in part, because I am a NetBSD developer.. and our Bluetooth stack is somewhat different, but the socket interface is compatible :) iain [1] http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?pad++NetBSD-current [2] http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pad/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bluetooth To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
