Hi,
with a bluefritz usb v2.0 I hear a rattling noise in the headset which appears
about every 1.5 sec during a voip call (twinkle/ekiga/skype).
I noticed that the bfusb module is not loaded automatically and that a
modprobe bfusb doesn't pull the firmware (bfubase.frm) located
in /lib/firmware.
I'm a bit confused, is the firmware still needed? What could be the reason for
this background noise?
Greetings
Jens

Well, not surprisingly it's in bluetooth-alsa in Ubuntu as well.
Thanx!

This is included in the package bluetooth-alsa (debian sid), I don't know
where to find libasound_module_pcm_sco.so in ubuntu gutsy.

Yeah, that's what I did, but even with the patch you reference below for
pwlib, ekiga still barfs trying to open the audio device. More on that
below, but for now, following your procedure...

I tried your configuration but ekiga complains, on trying to open the
audio devices:
ALSA lib pcm.c:2105:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_sco.so
ALSA lib pcm.c:2105:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_sco.so
ALSA lib pcm.c:2105:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_sco.so
So obviously you have something providing that "sco" pcm module.

Ubuntu Gutsy in fact.
When I use instead:
pcm.headset {
type bluetooth
device 00:1A:45:1B:19:89
profile "auto" #optional, supported profiles are: auto, hifi and voice
}
I can use arecord ... | aplay and I hear myself just fine, but ekiga
pukes out:
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL headset
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL headset
and I do eventually get a connection and can hear on the headset but the
UI ends up hanging -- doesn't paint.
On a second invocation I get connected to a phone I have dialed but the
connection dies quite quickly and ekiga says:
(ekiga:24243): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.14.1/gobject/gsignal.c:1715: handler `2996' of instance `0x8466978' is not blocked
ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1179:(bluetooth_cfg) Error 22 while configuring device
ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1179:(bluetooth_cfg) Error 22 while configuring device
ALSA lib pcm_bluetooth.c:1179:(bluetooth_cfg) Error 22 while configuring device
and I get the warning dialogs about not being able to play or record
from the soundcard.

sorry for the long delay, I was a bit busy the last few days.
Apparently I'm not a bluez/alsa specialist, anyway here is what I have done:
To get a bluetooth headset work with Twinkle/Ekiga/Skype I enhanced
my .asoundrc at first.
In several documents I read that you can use a pcm of type bluetooth but that
never worked for me so I have to use type sco (see pcm.headset).
I had to reduce the volume of the headset mic to eliminate echo problems. Because
I found no working solution to control the mic volume with alsamixer, even softvol
doesn't help, I had to do it with a pcm of type plug (see pcm.headset-route-in).
To finetune the headset speaker volume I inserted the pcm-headset-route-out section
in my .asoundrc.
I wasn't able to find a solution for dmixing/dsnooping the headset, is it possible?
After pairing the headset with the bt dongle I used the alsa device headset-route-out
for speaker and the device headset-route-in for microphone in twinkle and skype.
To get ekiga working with this alsa devices please follow
http://forums.droplinegnome.org/viewtopic.php?t=5538&sid=ca7c1f8a8b259c2bf3a9fc6a42ba573c
If you use a debian sid distribution you can find the needed patches in
/usr/share/doc/bluetooth-alsa/patches too.
Hope this helps.

Jens
