I'm wondering what causes this, the bind call is failing with errno=EPERM.
Do you know of something in bluez config or something security related

that could prevent binding if not root?

I should have RTFM

"... and run a2dpd (it's not advised to run it as root)."

Hehe. I wonder what the developers do then as it doesn't work as a
normal user.

I got it to work as a normal user, I don't remember exactly what I did, but I'm pretty sure that all it needed was a 'chmod a+x' on the required files.

I do think that this could be handled better with an /etc/init.d/ script that ran a2dpd as the user. Or even hook it into the /etc/init.d/bluetooth script.
