I wrote a quick and dirty prototype using SBC over RFCOMM for now. It is working with aplay and the alsaplayer, but not with xmms or beep. Are there any known problem with these ALSA plugins? We also talked about making these IO plugins visible when ALSA is listing its hardware devices. Is this possible now?
