Nice!

Ouch, bad luck for me. I hope I'll have time to see if I can add this 
functionnality myself, as I definitely need it. Don't know however if I 
don't lack the ability and knowledge, as I never worked inside BlueZ 
source. How would you rate the difficulty of the work involved to 
implement such a behaviour?

At the moment, the current "no choice" implementation simply always use 
hci0?


Best Regards,
Pierre-Yves
