(http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluetooth-alsa/) Right now we have alsa patches to add a bluetooth alsa device to the kernel. It works in conjunction with a userspace bluetooth daemon. It's not ideal. For one thing, we should be able to support multiple bluetooth headsets at once but that would require more kernel changes. Is there any way to have an alsa sound driver that lives mostly in userspace? If there was something like that, we could load up one driver for each headset we wanted to support. We have to route things through userspace anyway to use the bluetooth device. It might also be easier to get patches accepted. :) Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
