[Bluez-users] using BlueZ with pulseaudio

[Csillag Kristof <csillag.kristof@gmail.com>]

Hi there!


I can figure out how to use PulseAudio with the ALSA device provided by
BlueZ.


I have BlueZ 3.22 installed & configured.


My /etc/asound.rc looks like this:


------------------------------------------

pcm.headset {
    type bluetooth
    device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
}

ctl.headset {
    type bluetooth
    device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
}

-----------------------------------


(Of course, instead of the Xes, it contains the address of my BT headset.)


I can use xmms/audacious to output sound to the alsa device "headset", and

it works all right.


However, when I try to run a PulseAudio sink on top of this device

(by adding  "load-module module-alsa-sink device=headset" to
/etc/pulse/default.pa),

I get the following error:


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALSA lib ctl_bluetooth.c:150:(bluetooth_send_ctl) Unable to request new
volume value to server: Socket operation on non-socket
W: alsa-util.c: Unable to load mixer: Socket operation on non-socket
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I can run PulseAudio sinks on top of other ALSA devices, so I guess the
problem

lies in PulseAudio interfacing with the BlueTooth ALSA mixer.

How can I configure this?


How can I use this mixer anyway? I have not yet found any alsa

mixer application which lets me configure the name of the mixer device
to use.


Thank you for your help:
