Hello,
I have enabled A2DP sinking on my Ubuntu 18.03 computer, and I am able
to stream sound from my phone to my PC. Pavucontrol sees a new device in
"Configuration", a new input in the "Input Devices" tab and a new item
in the "Playback" tab : "Loopback from xyz".
BUT there are no new devices shown in ALSA (result of aplay -l is
unchanged). It seems this is intentional by design, to only register the
new devices in Pulse Audio. I use Mixxx which lists ALSA devices.
Question : What is the best current way to get A2DP sound at ALSA level ?
I found relevant discussions :
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12338621/a2dp-sink-without-pulseaudio
-
https://forum.armbian.com/topic/6480-bluealsa-bluetooth-audio-using-alsa-not-pulseaudio/
referencing a BluezAlsa project.
Has any of the above been integrated in the core bluez (should I
recompile bluez with a config parameter) ?
Is there any advocacy against listing the devices in ALSA ? or any
incompatibilities ?
Thank you.
