Do you have something in mind for routing audio to the speakers when the bluetooth headset is not available or if the user chooses to disable it? Is a2dpd starting the connection to the headset on demand? If you do go that route, make sure it holds the connection open for a few seconds after the last client closes it. > Drawbacks : some ticks in the sound, Tcp may give additionnal burden = > but for now it seems far from being cpu intensive (if you consider Xeon = > as being a representative cpu ;). these ticks are the sound you usually get when packets are sent too quickly. so the audio using gxine has a bit of a delay and the pitches of everybody's voices are too low. seems like a straightforward timing issue.
