I was able to use the bluetooth headset today for the first time through linux. I was able to talk on a VoIP call through kphone. Woohoo. What fixed it was one or more of...
- Fixing modules.conf with cards_limit=2
- Using the 2.6.7 kernel patch instead of the alsa-standalone patch
- Fixing alsasound script startup (it was never starting)
- I would like to run multiple headsets at once. I don't think the driver can handle multiple instances though.
- If I receive a call, if it's not already running, I have to quickly start up btsco to fire up the connection to my headset
- Some flakiness -- audio has been dropped a couple of times using this Jabra. One time the bluetooth mouse connection started acting up and no mouse clicks would register until I restarted X.
- I can disconnect a call using the button on my headset but I can't open the connection to the audio driver or to kphone by using the button.
- I can disconnect from the audio driver using the headset button but kphone does not know the call should probably be ended. (Writes to the audio device may block but that is its only indication something is happening)
- After I open the connection by pushing the button, I want voice-activated dialing. (well I can dream can't I?) This kind of stuff might be available through something like asterisk.
- Kphone insists that esd is shut down before it will work (I wish I could tell esd not to touch the second alsa adapter or get a voip client to work with esd)
