Well, I have to admit that I don't really know much about how BT works.
I just got into the btsco project because I wanted to integrate it
closer with Gnomemeeting and other VoIP programs, as can be seen from
the fact that the features I've contributed are pretty
non-bluetooth-related.

Thanks for enlightening me, though. I would have thought that when the
device got out of range, the kernel just wouldn't know the status of it
since it couldn't reach it (and maybe time out after a longer period of
time). Does anyone have any pointers to good documentation that I can
use to read up on BT? There are a few bluetooth-related features that I
want to add as well, but that I really can't without deeper knowledge
(among which are to advertise the computer as an audio gateway).
