Yep, aoss when directed to dmix is having no problem playing
simultaneous sounds. I found the directions on the alsa wiki refered
to in my last post.

I have tried both these methods to no avail. But again, not exausted
all options.

Well, I gave them another look, and this time noticed this comment
in README.Debian.gz:
The old infrastructure /etc/bluetooth/passkey has been removed
since the agent is supposed to be started by a user session. It is
not meant to be system-wide.
So, that is why that did not work, but a little later on it says:
Note to the tech-savy:
If you are stuck in console and absolutely need to pair with your
bluetooth device have a look at
/var/lib/bluetooth/<your_device_address>/pincodes. Please note that
this mode of operation is _not_ _supported_. Don't mess with files in
/var/lib/bluetooth/ unless you know what you are doing. I repeat:
manually adding a pincode for a remote device is NOT SUPPORTED.
Well, sounded like an invitation to me...
I created a file called "pincodes" with one line in it,
the address of my bluetooth device and the pin. That worked!
So, not supported, will probably stop working with the next release,
but for now that issue is solved. Back to ttsynth.
Thanks for your help,
-Greg
