My problem is similar to that outlined in this post:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.user/13352

I wish to use my new Phoenix BTK-03 (PCB300) bluetooth headset with VOIP 
applications.
Audio playback works well with mplayer (mplayer -ao 
alsa:device=bluetooth test.mp3) and aplay (aplay -D bluetooth test.wav) 
but I can't get capture working.

Test command:
$ arecord -D bluetooth -f S16_LE | aplay -D bluetooth -f S16_LE

executes without errors and:
$ arecord -D bluetooth -f S16_LE /tmp/rec_test.wav

produces always files with lenght=44 bytes (the files seems to contain 
only the wav format headers but no sound).
I'm sure the headset starts capturing because I hear a beep and some 
noise in the speaker.

I've tried with 'options hci_usb force_scofix=1' but the results are the 
same.
I've also successfully compiled bluez-utils from the yesterday cvs but I 
think I screwed up something when installing because the services in the 
'Service' tab in bluetooth applet preferences became uncheckable.

What information can I post to help solving this problem?
Can someone point me to an howto or README with best practices for 
installing from cvs?

Best regard, Gabriele

PS: The PC was shipped with Vista, but I've installed winXp and 
downgraded the firmware with the Dell utlity. Th headset works both for 
playing and capturing under winXP.
