Hello. I have a bluetooth headset that I have successfully used with a cell phone and an Android tablet, and that I could use in Ubuntu on a friend's machine. I'd like to use it with mplayer on my laptop (under Slackware 13.37). I have the BT address, and the test-audio script in bluez-4.98/test works (at least, I hear two beeps in the headphone, and hcitool con shows # hcitool con Connections: < ACL 00:18:91:D0:7A:24 handle 42 state 1 lm MASTER AUTH ENCRYPT so I guess it is possible to connnect to the device. However, if I try hcitool cc $HEADSET, the connection is closed immediately...) I created an ~/.asoundrc with: pcm.btheadset { type plug slave { pcm { type bluetooth device "00:18:91:D0:7A:24" profile "auto" } } hint { show on description "BlueTooth Halterrego H.EAR 01 Headset" } } ctl.btheadset { type bluetooth } but when I try to use it with mplayer: # mplayer -ao alsa:device=btheadset file.mp3 I get 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) What did I miss? (I recompiled bluez with support for alsa and alsa with support for bluetooth) Thanks! -- F.
