Must be blind. Anyhow, i guess this doesn't sound good for sound:

# hciconfig hci0 revision
hci0: Type: USB
BD Address: 00:60:57:02:7F:E1 ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
HCI 12.7
Chip version: BlueCore01b
SCO mapping: PCM

I have problems with no audio on this dongle. So i take it, that it
might be the oldish firmware.

Kind regards,
