Re: [Bluez-devel] Some questions about audio on embedded systems

The best option is to use the most recent bluez version you can and
use the built-in audio service it provides. btsco and plugz are both
dead ends. There is a little bit of hackery you'll have to do with eg
hciattach which has patches that can't go upstream. See the gumstix
openembedded package for details. Make sure you ask the gumstix folks
because I believe they have a newer bluez than the default one you get
in their openembedded environment.

As far as hardware, if you're not using a prototype of the next
gumstix board then you should add a bluetooth USB adapter that has a
CSR chip in it to a verdex board. The integrated bluetooth module has
not been used successfully for SCO.
