For those interested, I am planning to write an alsa driver for 
bluetooth headsets.
The alsa driver module would load into kernel, but not present any sound 
devices.
Once a pairing had been set up (a small tool will be used for the 
pairing), the alsa driver module would then dynamically add a sound card 
to the kernel device list, and this sound card would work just like any 
other sound device in linux.
The alsa driver would handle both iso and rfcomm connections, iso for 
the sound, rfcomm for mixer volume etc.

Is anyone else working on this, or shall I start alone?

Cheers
James
