Re: [Bluez-devel] CVS audio-api.txt : 1st question

Hi Frederic,

Ok, let's take those into account.
What you're talking about are basically capabilities that are common on 
proprietary systems but that are still stranger to the free Linux world :-)

Hopefully one day there will be a free implementation of such an audio 
routing system. The closest effort i would see is pulseaudio, however it 
looks like it's really far behind in term of routing features :-(

So i guess your answer is also +1 for global routing daemon/system or 
whatever :-)

Cheers,

Fabien
