As far as I can tell, bluez-alsa is currently a dead-end for us. Here are the two problems I see: 1. It does not do any kind of software mixing. You can only play one audio stream at a time. dmix can't be used, because it requires a hardware device, and bluez-alsa provides a virtual alsa device. 2. There's got to be a way for audio to fall back to another card when a bluetooth headset loses its charge, goes out of range, etc. I don't know how that could be made to work seamlessly. I wouldn't want espeakup to become completely confused / nonfunctional just because the BT headset became disconnected. So I don't think bluetooth with alsa is a good fit for console speech. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
