kaa.base has an input section with lirc and keyboard. But hey only share one directory, the interface is a bit different. So this could also work for an output directory with different output driver. About bluetooth. I only know about bluez. There was a bad hacked bluetooth plugin in kaa.base once and now it is in WIP. The reason for this is that bluez is GPL and I don't want to make kaa.base GPL (it is LGPL now) just because of that. Maybe kaa.bluez is a solution here. >> I would like to have such a module, I need an IR sender first. My >> problem is that with AC3 pass-thru you can't control the volume with >> the Linux mixer.

First we need the stuff in kaa. After that we see what kind of interface we have and can think of the freevo part. Bluetooth for example is much more powerfull than ir, I generic module won't work without cutting some bluetooth functions. BTW: what kind of bluetooth output do you have in mind?
