Hi,
I've bought myself a bluetooth headset and am streaming audio
to it using mplayer. How do I control its volume? Usually, hitting /
or * decreases or increases the volume, but mplayer thinks it's
sending at 0% volume and it's still a little too loud!
The hardest part about making this thing to work at all, BTW, was getting
it to peer. If you don't use a gui desktop, you seem to be in
trouble. And most of the howtos aren't helpful -- they all assume you
have the GTK libraries or have Gnome or something, or are so old that
the codebase has moved on a lot. The trick is to put the MAC/Pin pair
into /var/lib/bluetooth/DONGLEMAC/pincodes where DONGLEMAC is the mac
address of the bluetooth adapter.
