I started with a handsfree applications as a part of the KDE Bluetooth 
Framework (kde-bluetooth.sf.net) a while ago, but it's not working too well 
at the moment. It uses arts as a sound backend, which turned out to be no 
good idea.  Maybe using alsa directly would give better results, but that 
would be harder to configure (remember, we are targeting KDE users ;) I also 
had rather mixed results depending on the kernel and bluetooth dongle I used. 
Since I don't have too much time at the moment and not too many people were 
complaining about kbthandsfree, it is basically on hold and waiting for me or 
someone else to continue the work.

regards
Fred
