you're right, thx. And the link has this! It needs CVS sdp and stuff, 
and I have no clue how to use it, but it seems to work.

Nope, somebody has done it already. Look at the link Lars gave.

IIUC, not true. C link.

Guess what. Think about it. Doom - for them. Goodbye to insane 
telecommunication costs. KILLER linux feature. Wooooooooow, awesome ;==)
For that, please someone who can actually code talk to them, merge it 
into bluez and so. As said, I have absolutely no clue how to just use 
it, so I won't be even taking the time to compile it. I'll wait till 
it's covered by the bluez-utils ebuild + deps. :==P

Oh yeah, stop.. all the euphory - but still the audio stream needs to be 
grabbed without the /phone/ actually opening a connection. Hope this is 
hackable.
so long guys.
