Yeah, and how much trouble could it possibly be to implement? I have no idea really, but it sounds like a software (firmware?) feature, so it shouldn't be hard or costly at all to do... So why not? But alas, I think I'm preaching to the choir. Heheheh

It's only possible to do through gstreamer, unfortunately. ALSA doesn't support it. (I don't even know if the ALSA API could even be used for that purpose.. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me can answer that) I use debian, so I don't know if step by step instructions would be useful

Oh! One more thing. You need to have 'MPEG12Sources=1' under the '[A2DP]' section in /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf For everything else, defaults should be fine. I also found it beneficial to performance to set the following lines in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf lm accept,master; lp hold,sniff,park;

/me finds it very interesting looking forward to a good implementation of it (also have you any idea how much it will impact the battery lifetime of the bluetooth unit?) On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 8:02 PM, Daniel Benoy dan...@benoy.name wrote: On Thursday 26 February 2009 09:07:12 you wrote: On

Apparently bluez supports sending mp3 data directly to bluetooth stereo headphones, rather than using CPU taxing SBC compression encoding. This is especially good on the openmoko. In my experience, it can handle even high fidelity audio, but as soon as you start using the GUI or some other

So is this to say that the bluetooth earpiece itself has MP3-decoding capability? I find that hard to imagine. So where is the decoding actually taking place? And can it be done with OGG too, since it's the obviously superior codec. :P ___ Openmoko

My guess is that the conversion to A2DP from MP3 takes place inside the WM8753 chip which sends that directly to the bluetooth hardware. I couldn't find anything about OGG support there from what I've read, it seems to have support for MPEG and PCM codecs as required by HSP and A2DP bluetooth
