Bluez as A2DP-SNK?

Bluez as A2DP-SNK?

[Marcel Witte]

Hi,

Is it possible to use bluez as A2DP-SNK? In the wiki it's just described
how to use it as SRC with ALSA, and while searching the web I just found
a thread on the bluez.devel-newsgroup from march 2005, saying that it is
not yet implemented. Is it now implemented? Would it be hard to implement?

Greets,
Marcel

it is not implemented, but feel free to work on an implementation for
the A2DP sink. It should not be that hard since all the base work is
already present.

An A2DP sink is needed when playing e.g. a song from a mobile phone to the
(linux) PC, right?! That is also what I want to do.

Could you be a little more specific on what has to be done, and how much time
you think a developer would need for implementing and testing it? Is it a
matter of days, weeks, or months?

Hi Aad,

I'm also trying to configure my PC as an A2DP sink and then stream the 
audio from my bluetooth enabled phone to play in my onboard PC speaker.

Please provide some pointers if you already have found some ....

Thanks in advance
