I got it to work as a normal user, I don't remember exactly what I did, 
but I'm pretty sure that all it needed was a 'chmod a+x' on the required 
files.

I do think that this could be handled better with an /etc/init.d/ script 
that ran a2dpd as the user. Or even hook it into the 
/etc/init.d/bluetooth script.
