Hrm. I think you read too much into it. I was not really complaining, just making a statement on my observations about the status of BT (audio) on Linux for the last year or so (since I got a dongle a year ago Xmas). A person can make an observation without it being a complaint. > You have the ultimate choice.

I personally > take the second option. I wish I had the time for that than I do. That's not to say I don't contribute. I've had my fingers in any number of projects over the years and even try to find time to do what I can now. I used to have lots more time for it though, when I was a young, single man. Not any more. :-( > All you're going to achieve by moaning is pissing off the people who do > put in the hard work and who are the ones most able to help you when you > get stuck. That's generally not a wise move! Dude. Like I said. It was just my light-hearted observation that over quite a number of kernel releases since I first tried BT audio that it has always been "almost there, just one more patch to kernel XYZ". I don't expect anyone to rush out and scratch my itch. If it itches me enough, I will do some scratching. b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
