Ok, I will put it in contrib and add a note that it's derived from the 
api documentation example. If you like the mod from "Whoopie" I'll apply 
that too.

I'll bet we could watch for this. If byte order gets reversed, it might 
present a pattern that we can identify. It seems like SCO is not a 
reliable transport so maybe bluez is supposed to watch for this kind of 
stuff somehow. I should read up on it...

The general solution is an adaptive boost which would be nice even for 
mics that use the full range. It's a common problem so I'll bet you can 
get this from one of the alsa layers in userspace.

I suppose since it's only happened twice you can't reproduce it? I'm not 
much help looking over logs since I don't know what to look for.

I've seen times where the mouse starts acting whacked and focus gets 
stuck on some widget even if the mouse is pointing elsewhere. I've been 
meaning to restart hidd and/or reload evdev to see if it's linked to the 
bluetooth mouse.
