[Bluez-users] using BlueZ with pulseaudio

Hi there!

I can figure out how to use PulseAudio with the ALSA device provided by
BlueZ.

I have BlueZ 3.22 installed & configured.

My /etc/asound.rc looks like this:

------------------------------------------

pcm.headset {
type bluetooth
device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
}

ctl.headset {
type bluetooth
device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
}

-----------------------------------

(Of course, instead of the Xes, it contains the address of my BT headset.)

I can use xmms/audacious to output sound to the alsa device "headset", and

it works all right.

However, when I try to run a PulseAudio sink on top of this device

(by adding "load-module module-alsa-sink device=headset" to
/etc/pulse/default.pa),

I get the following error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALSA lib ctl_bluetooth.c:150:(bluetooth_send_ctl) Unable to request new
volume value to server: Socket operation on non-socket
W: alsa-util.c: Unable to load mixer: Socket operation on non-socket
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can run PulseAudio sinks on top of other ALSA devices, so I guess the
problem

lies in PulseAudio interfacing with the BlueTooth ALSA mixer.

How can I configure this?

How can I use this mixer anyway? I have not yet found any alsa

mixer application which lets me configure the name of the mixer device
to use.

Thank you for your help:
