please don't blindly believe everything that is posted on the mailing
list. You don't even have to believe me. BlueZ is fully multi adapter
and multi connection capable. However you need also a chip that supports
it and in some cases even a host stack on the other side that works
correctly. And once again "hcidump -X -V" is your friend in showing what
actually happens on the Bluetooth chip level.

There is no real alternative, but please be my guest and write something
new. At some point you will realize that developing a Bluetooth host
stack is not much fun anymore.
