hi gabriele, i have not worked much on BlueZ and alsa but i can see from your information that you have not configured your kernel to support alsa. have a kernel built with alsa configured. bcoz i checked the file /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so which u are missing but my kernel has as i hv alsa support. also i confirmed this by checking into another system which dont hv alsa configured in it. Try and c. best luck....bye Pramod ----- Original Message ---- From: Ing.

Here's what I've done, please tell ma what's wrong: 1. checked out latest 'utils' and 'libs' directoryes from cvs 2. installed all needed development headers 3. Compiled: $ cd utils/ $ sudo ./bootstrap $ sudo ./configure --enable-all --prefix=/usr/local/ $ sudo make $ cd ../libs/ $ sudo ./bootstrap $ sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ $ sudo make 4. uninstalled bluez-utils: $ sudo apt-get remove bluez-utils 5. uninstalled libbluetooth2 (forcing needed to solve dependencies): $ sudo dpkg --force-all -r libbluetoot2 6. Installed libs and utils: $ cd libs; sudo make install $ cd utils; sudo make install 7. Edited '/etc/init.d/bluetooth' and modified all paths to pont to correct locations under /usr/local/{bin,sbin} 8. rebooted (I know it's not needed but I did it) 9. Now headset pairs, 'hcitool dev' correctly shows it but $ mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth test.mp3 gives: .... [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:2105:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory .... 10. sadness ;( Can someone help me or give me some link to documentation about correct procedures for cvs building? Tnx :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
