FYI, I bought this headset at btboutique.com. It is pretty nice. There's 
a perceptible delay in encoding, so you can't use the encoder dongle 
plugged into a tv without some annoyance with lipsync problems. 
Hopefully that would be improved with a computer doing the encoding.

I've been able to use the current bluetooth-alsa with the headset for 
voice-quality audio. I've started reading about A2DP and would love to 
get that working. (Interesting... no cellphone or version of Pocketpc or 
windows xp has A2DP it seems. Who does have it?)

The multiple pairing is interesting. If you thought pairing a headset 
with no display to ONE device was confusing, this is worse :) Clicking 
the connect button seems to make it connect to the most recently used 
device that is NOT the dongle. It usually does the right thing but if I 
get a call while listening to music through the dongle, it takes a while 
(and sometimes fiddling with buttons) after the call is over for the 
headset to switch back to the dongle.
