Yeah, I found that part of the code suspicious too.

My current problem is that sending sound from the Netgear to the
headset works, but only some of the time (about 10% of it) and
non-reproducible too. When playing back a sound file sometimes I hear
something and most of the time I don't. Sound seems to come and go at
will. (Note: It's not a speaker problem. When there is no sound I still
hear the background static noise.)

I looked at the outgoing SCO stream with hcidump and that seems to be
fine. (E.g. I grabbed the raw data from the stream and played it back
on my Laptop's sound card and there the sound is continuously OK.)

I tried two different dongles (both work fine with the headset when
attached to my Laptop) but have yet to find a different headset to try.

The byteshift doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, despite
there being a minor correlation between sound switching on and off and
"Shift problem detected! Fixing to 1."/"Shift problem detected! Fixing
to 0." in the log (they _always_ come in pairs on the Netgear). I
experimentally changed the code to switch between byteshift on and off
every 15s and that didn't have any effect whatsoever.

(Note: Recording sound from the microphone seems to work always. But I
didn't test that very extensively.)

Next step would be for me to read more on the Headset profile to better
understand the hcidump output (and look for errors) and get a headset
emulator running on my laptop to check the SCO stream that is actually
received by the headset. When I have more time ...
