Hello. I have a bluetooth headset that I can connect to my computer: # l2ping 00:18:91:*:*:* Ping: 00:18:91:*:*:* from 00:1F:C6:DF:B0:FC (data size 44) ... 4 bytes from 00:18:91:*:*:* id 0 time 32.87ms I have created a "btheaset" entry in my .asoundrc: pcm.btheadset { type bluetooth device "00:18:91:*:*:*" profile "auto" } ctl.btheadset { type bluetooth } However, I can't use the "btheadset" device in mplayer: # mplayer -ao alsa:device=btheadset file.mp3 ...snip... bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Connection refused Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=btheadset' Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound. Audio: no sound Video: no video Exiting... (End of file) I can't see the device registered as a playback device in aplay -l either. This happens as a normal user as well as when I am root, so it musn't be a permission issue? Any hint?
