However it looks fine and it seems that some people got success with it. What I don't like is that it is build on top of the SCO sockets. I raised this a long time ago and what I expect from a good Bluetooth audio integration is direct interface to OSS and ALSA. I think of something we have done for RFCOMM, which means that we integrate all stuff directly into the sco.o module. Linux 2.4 SCO socket + OSS interface Linux 2.6 SCO socket + OSS/ALSA interface I am not an audio or ALSA expert, so don't expect to much from me in this area. And the 2.6 looks like a good starting point to redesign our SCO interface. I would say that you should go ahead and try to do it ;) Regards Marcel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
