A2DP Bluetooth update

We got stereo streaming via A2DP working from linux! See bluetooth-alsa. It's not available as a "real" audio device yet, but you can send audio to a headset using Unix pipes.

On the Apple side, I found out that Apple doesn't *fully* support all bluetooth adapters. It will only connect to a bluetooth headset using the internal adapter or the Dlink usb adapter, and only after the firmware is updated using their utility. Otherwise, you'll get the message "failed to set up the headset. Headsets are not supported on your Bluetooth hardware."

That's good to know and I can use voice-quality stuff now but no high-quality stereo. Someone needs to take what we've started on with bluetooth-alsa and make it available as an audio device in OSX. :)
