[Bluez-users] headset via bluetooth-headset not fully working

[David Elze <wegwerf@datenschrott.de>]

Hey, 

I'm running Debian unstable and want to do some VoIP stuff with my
HBH-PV700 (Sony Ericsson) headset over a standard bluetooth dongle
(usb).

Pretty everything works as it should: 
1. I can pair the headset correctly (hcitool, gnome bluetooth 
   manager and friends) [1]
2. I can start the headsetd via 'headsetd -n' to get its output
3. When I run 
   'aplay -Dplug:headset /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav'
   the headsets does a beep, I can hear some silent noise (nothing
   like the expected sound, only background noise that is slightly
   louder than the headset normally is if there is no aplay involved)
   but not the expected sound and headsetd says [2] whereas my 
   .asoundrc looks like [3]

So everything seems to be fine: the connection does work, if I send some
sound to the headset-alsa-device it recognizes that, beeps and starts to
'sound' different then before but I just hear no sound. I increased all
audio levels via alsamixer, I put the usb-stick into another usb-port
(because I read something about problems with certain usb-hubs and
sco-like stuff) and did some strace'ing and aplay -verbose but there
were absolutely no error messages.

Maybe you guys have an idea or at least some rtfm-hint because I don't
know what to do anymore. The headset itself is working correctly, I
tested it twice with my normal cellphone.

Thanks for any hint :-)

Greetings, David
