The headphone has to be running when bluetoothd-service-audio starts (I have no /usr/local/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf and by analogy with a2dpd I suspect that some conf in that file would help a lot). I'm *sure* that bluetoothd is supposed to start it (judging from the names), but for me it doesn't happen, so I start it manually (omitting bluetoothd, and instead using hcid and sdpd). Eventually I'll figure out what's intended to happen, and what configuration is needed to realize that. I play direct to Bluetooth ALSA: aplay -D a2dpd 01_aria.wav -- perfect. This is really bluez-utils-3.19 but I still call the ALSA device a2dpd. Now: pulseaudio -v -v --log-target=stderr --daemonize=0 After loading modules it goes into an infinite loop saying 10 times/sec: I: module-alsa-sink.c: *** ALSA-XRUN (playback) *** Even so, I can play via ALSA sink-input: aplay -D pulse 01_aria.wav It got one or two buffer-loads of music out, but at least 98% was lost. No complaints from bluetoothd-service-audio: no underruns, etc. This is all with the default.pa and .asoundrc in my last posting, in which Bluetooth is the default sink, and PulseAudio has a compulsion to open it at startup. I didn't mess with esound compatibility, and no client touches ctl_a2dpd (yet) even though the ALSA plugin for that is installed. And coincidentally I got no segfaults. James F.
