Ok, I've given up on a2dpd and tried headsetd for SCO (what I wanted to 
do anyway): It works!

My problem apparently was that hibernating the laptop didn't allow 
usb/alsa/bluetooth to work properly after waking up the machine. 
Switching the headset on/off also seems to help. I've now added all usb 
modules to the hibernate blacklist and will see if it still works after 
the next hibernation.

I have booted and headsetd will now work, I can direct sound output to 
my headset as given on the "build" page and I can also record sound from 
the microphone doing:

arecord -D headset --format=S16_LE blah.wav

My problem is now that most apps don't allow for specific sound options 
on the command line. I am thinking of skype and krut 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/krut/). Is there a way to make the 
headset the default alsa device?

(later)

Apparently, the answer is yes and I need to modify my .asoundrc file. 
Does anybody have a copy that works in such a way that when the headset 
is available it is the default and in other cases the normal speaker/micro?


Cheers,
