hi everybody,
I'm trying to use a Motorola bluetooth headset, and the only programs for
which it works are Skype and aplay.
The pairing worked perfectly with blueman-manager.
Skype uses the alsa config file .asoundrc, and aplay needs the
-D bluetooth flag.
Impossible to make it to work with any other program (vlc, rhytmbox,
xine, totem, ...)
I tried several tricks found in several forums, but none worked.
Had anybody a better result?
PS: My OS is Debian/Squeeze.
best regards,

not really out of the box for me:
I already tried with pulsaudio, without success.
the command:
pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=btheadset
gives
Failure: Module initalization failed
and all what I get after re-installing pulseaudio is that
it no more works neither with skype nor aplay.
Have you any doc about the exact config needed for pulseaudio to work?

If you use pulseaudio, it should work out of the box.
