From time to time I use a Bluetooth headset which connects via a
dongle adapter. PA detects it fine and allows me to use it with many
applications.

One application in particular needs me to tell it using the AUDIODEV
environment variable what device I am using. With the 3 constantly
attached devices this is no problem (AUDIODEV=/dev/dsp0, etc.).
However I have not found a way of associating a /dev/??? entry with
the temporary BT headsets. As far as I can see the list of devices in
/dev does not change when PA picks up the headset. Is this a PA issue
or should I be looking elsewhere?

Thanks to Colin G and Andrew B for comments.

I think I am running Alsa and not OSS which must be happening by emulation.

/dev/snd/by-id/ contains only

usb-Logitech_Logitech_Wireless_Headset-00 usb-Microsoft_Microsoft®_LifeCam_Cinema_TM_-02

even when BT headset connected. I don't seem to have a convenient udev utility, just the daemon which I am not sure how to manipulate. There does not seem to be a restartable service.

The application is the speech recognizer Julius. Some of the docs talk about specifying AUDIODEV but I have now found other instructions relating to ALSADEV and even pulseaudio. I have attempted to configure Julius for PA but my configure is sticking on an issue related to
--------
checking for pa_simple_new in -lpulse-simple... (cached) no
configure: error: no PulseAudio header!
--------

I'm sure I have alsa-devel and libpulse-devel installed, so I am chasing this issue now with Julius forum. Thanks.
