Hi Brad,

thanks for your quick reply.

It seems as if the headset enters some kind of 'powersave' mode after a
few seconds.

I did the following steps to produce the two attached hcidumps:

hcidump-fast.gz:
* start hcidump
* switch headset on
* wait for link key request and immediately start btsco
* wait for btsco to be ready and immediately start aplay
=> This results in an immediately starting audio playback

hcidump-slow.gz:
* start hcidump
* switch headset on
* wait for link key request and immediately start btsco
* wait about 30 sec. after btsco being ready before starting aplay
=> This results in an delay of 3-5 seconds before audio playback is
starting

This behaviour is reproducable.

If anybody has any hints what is happening here that would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Christoph
