I don't know about detecting broken rfcomm. I haven't experimented with it.

The way my cell phone works is the headset "connection" is dropped if 
the rfcomm connection is broken. The next call will ring only in the 
handset, not the headset.

We *could* have the daemon attempt to reestablish the rfcomm connection 
when an audio client tries to send/receive audio on a stale link. That 
seems more reasonable than retrying periodically and we might get the 
daemon to the point that it can be left running regardless of the 
transient availability of the target headset.

Next to consider is the convenience of establishing a connection again 
from the headset by advertising audio gateway through sdpd. I think this 
is where Florian is illustrating the similarity to hidd in how we'll 
operate.

BTW, I updated the bug list at sourceforge today.
