My thinking was we would get a "poor man's" sort of routing > audio server by doing some tricks in alsa, but maybe it's just too > gross :) Having played with the beast a while ago i had the same feeling. :-) Pulseaudio seems to have all the needed bits to handle this task without too much work on the bt side... Maybe we can offer two things : - no smart routing at all : use bt audio daemon + alsa plugin - smart routing : use bt audio daemon + pulseaudio I even have the feeling that with a properly defined unix IPC interface between the bt audio daemon and the plugin it would be possible to replace the plugin with gstreamer bt element/or even whatever other proprietary sound server smartphone designers would like to use :-) Cheers, Fabien ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
