The patch seems to be available for 2.6.16-mh1. I have following questions regarding this. 1) Does latest stable kernel 2.6.17... includes this patch already? Or do i need to install 2.6.16-mh1 and then apply this patch? 2) I read that bluetooth version 1.2/ 2.0 support extended SCO (eSCO) that improves audio quality. Is this patch needed with bluetooth ver 1.2/ 2.0 dongle/headset also? Are there any known bluetooth ver 1.2. dongle/headset known to work well with bluez?

I'm not sure if they got incorporated. they could help with quality problems resulting from incorrect pacing. if you have the patch you'll have to do an ioctl to turn on flow control in your app iirc.

there were some sco flow control patches to the kernel floating around
the list about a month ago. I'm not sure if they got incorporated. they
could help with quality problems resulting from incorrect pacing.

if you have the patch you'll have to do an ioctl to turn on flow control
in your app iirc.
