Hello.
I have a bluetooth headset that I have successfully used with a cell
phone and an Android tablet.
I'd like to use it with mplayer on may laptop (under Slackware 13.37).
I have the BT address, and the test-audio script in bluez-4.98/test
works (at least, I hear two beeps in the headphone, and hcitool con
shows
# hcitool con
Connections:
< ACL 00:18:91:D0:7A:24 handle 42 state 1 lm MASTER AUTH ENCRYPT
so I guess it is possible to connnect to the device. However, if I try
hcitool cc $HEADSET, the connection is closed immediately...)
I created an ~/.asoundrc with:
pcm.btheadset {
type plug
slave {
pcm {
type bluetooth
device "00:18:91:D0:7A:24"
profile "auto"
}
}
hint {
show on
description "BlueTooth Halterrego H.EAR 01 Headset"
}
}
ctl.btheadset {
type bluetooth
}
but when I try to use it with mplayer:
# mplayer -ao alsa:device=btheadset file.mp3
I get
bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Connection refused
Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=btheadset'
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
Audio: no sound
Video: no video
Exiting... (End of file)
What did I miss? (I recompiled bluez with support for alsa and alsa
with support for bluetooth)
Thanks!
