And I just found enough time to finish my test with A2DP and I'm happy to announce I got it working with IT2008 ! Here is the howto (I've posted it on bugzilla too) : -first, ensure you have your headset working with IT2008 ie bluetooth pairing done and if you enable enabled, you get sound (crappy but you get it ;) -as root, edit /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and change Disable=Sink into #Disable=Sink (it would be nice for next nokia image to enable Sink by default, even if there is no UI to use it in a "supported by Nokia way" so it wouldn't require any root privilege to hack around A2DP support -as user, create ~/.asoundrc and put into it : pcm.bluetooth { type bluetooth } ctl.bluetooth{ type bluetooth } -as a user, create a file bt.sh with the following content (be sure to set HEADSET_ADDRESS with your headset BT address : #!/bin/sh HEADSET_ADDRESS="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" MANAGER=`dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez org.bluez.Manager.ActivateService string:audio | grep string | sed -e 's/.* string //g' -e 's/"//g' ` DEVICE=`dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest="$MANAGER" /org/bluez/audio org.bluez.audio.Manager.CreateDevice string:"$HEADSET_ADDRESS" | grep string | sed -e 's/.* string //g' -e 's/"//g' ` dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest="$MANAGER" "$DEVICE" org.bluez.audio.Sink.Connect -chmod +x this file -run this file at each startup so A2DP sink is configured and enabled for your headset now, to play sound, use mplayer as following : mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth your_file_to_play and enjoy quality music ;) There is some buffer underrun during playback, but it is a good start. -- Frederic Crozat
