Subject: [Bluez-users] Understanding /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

I am fighting to get a workable link between stereo headsets and a USB
dongel. My current set-up has been configured with the Blueman gui. When I
go to play some audio from XMMS which is set up for Bluetooth, I can see that
a connection is made, I get half a second of audio and 8 seconds of silence,
after which the connection is dropped. This is on my Ubuntu 7.10 system.

There is much I don't understand about this subject and I will need to chip
away at the problems a piece at a time.

My first query is with audio.conf. I can see the following
in /var/log/syslog :-

Jan 1 19:34:09 colin-desktop hcid[29890]: Bluetooth HCI daemon
Jan 1 19:34:09 colin-desktop hcid[29890]: HCI dev 0 registered

Jan 1 19:34:09 colin-desktop audio[29898]: /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf: Key

Jan 1 19:34:09 colin-desktop audio[29898]: /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf: Key
file does not have group 'A2DP'
Jan 1 19:34:09 colin-desktop audio[29898]: Config options: DisableHFP=true,
SCORouting=HCI, SourceCount=1
Jan 1 19:34:09 colin-desktop audio[29898]: Unix socket created: 5

The entries 'Key file does not have *' bother me, they look like error
messages. The audio.conf file has not been edited by me by hand, though my
tinkering may have upset something.

Do these lines look suspicious? Since I don't understand what they are I need
to ask your advice on the current config options, do they look correct?
