You probably need to load uinput module to make this to work, also you
should probably try pulse audio which has a better integration with
bluetooth headsets so you don't need to manually configure alsa it
will do all this automatically for you.

Thanks - I'm stuck with alsa for the moment, what is the uinput module and where do I find it?
