If you mean to be able to stream sound from computer to a headset, Lennart is right, I've left this working on the end of GSoC08, although automatic detection of devices didn't have a good level of usability (meaning that lot's of things had to be done manually). I haven't worked anymore with that because of lack of time (got a scholarship to go abroad), but I'm always planning to get back to work with that, what I think it's going to happen sometime next semester. If you mean the device acting as a sink, what means the computer receiving sound from a device, than Tim is right, there is still no support for that on BlueZ. But it's a project for GSoC09 and hopefully there will be a student working with that this year. -- Jo?o Paulo Rechi Vita MSc Computer Science Student Computer Engineer IC / Unicamp http://jprvita.wordpress.com/
