Sound output works well. However, I would like to capture events from the buttons on the speakers (it has buttons for play, next, previous, etc, which cause events to be sent back to the dongle, and which apparently work with the windows driver.) I used gizmod to monitor /dev/input/event*, but nothing showed up when pressing the buttons on the speaker. Are the events coming in elsewhere? Is there any tool that I can use to detect and kick off actions on these events? I asked over on the linux-usb list, and they suggested posting the question here, believing that enabling the HID driver would do the job. Because the dongle masquerades as a sound device, the bluetooth stack apparently doesn't see it as being bluetooth. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks Reuben
