Thanks for your response, i did it but it don't work. Actually i saw
that wiki and did the .asoundrc part but missed that part u mentioned.

Anyways it still don't work. And tried with headphones service and A2DP.

Maybe there is another workaround?

Hello Diego ,

I dont know configurations related audacious but following steps would work in rhythm player
I have assumed that you are having Ubuntu 9.04 , latest blueman and bluez.

Please try out following steps to make a2dp work.
1. pair headset and connect a2dp service.
2. add .asoundrc in your HOME directory 

pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
device XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
profile "auto"
}
pcm.bluetoothraw {
type bluetooth
}
pcm.bluetooth {
type plug
slave {
pcm bluetoothraw
}
}

replace XX by BT_ADDR of MOTO S9

3. gconftool -t string -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/musicaudiosink "alsasink buffer-time=6000000 latency-time=1000000 device=bluetoothraw"

4. restart bluetooth service  or do reboot (optional)

Please try it out and let me know any further issues. 

Thanks,
Balaji
