Ah yes, BT SCO would require always a certain address, so it won't work without a proper configuration.

One of the simplest solutions is to add a field to PCM definition so that the defined PCM is marked to be listed. Such as pcm.aiptek { type a2dp bdaddr "00:0B:0D:50:12:10" listed yes } (Well "listed" isn't a good word at all. Please suggest a better one.)
