Re: [Bluez-users] want to use M3000 bluetooth headset to receive voice calls on PC

[Brad Midgley <bmidgley@xmission.com>]

Laurent,

any recent CSR based dongle, such as the dbt-120, should work well.

yes, we have the headset working through /dev/dsp

hands-free and headset are two bluetooth profiles. most new sets support 
both profiles. we use the headset profile which is simpler.
