I am trying to stream_from_ the device to a local sink. I am therefore looking for something like;
gst-launch alsasrc device=bluetooth ! sbcdec ! .....
or
gst-launch a2dpsource transport=/org/bluez/{PID}/hci0/dev_AA_BB_CC_DD_EE_FF/fd0 ! sbcdec ! ...
preferably the second option as this would use SBC not PCM.
But to clarify, I have been asked to investigate this as part of a product we are developing. So I am trying to understand the approach we should take. As an embedded device we cannot support PulseAudio but instead have been using gstreamer. I can stream_from_ our device using gstreamer but, I understand, the only way to stream to a device, using the higher quality a2dp sbc codec, is using pulse audio.
There are examples on the web using "gst-launch alsasource device=bluetooth ! ..." but I believe this has been deprecated and can only support the SCO headset profile "low" quality audio.
So what I am trying to determine is;
1) Is there a gstreamer source plugin which would take the audio out of the bluetooth stack and pipe it to the "sbcdec" plugin, from which I can pipe it to something like "alsasink"?
2) is it possible to stream the higher quality audio over alsasrc, or is alsa fundamentally only PCM ?
3) Is our only option to create or commission a gstreamer plugin? If so what steps should we take to pursue its creation.
Sincerely,
alistair
