Hi,

It seems that somebody already give us a favor and patented it:

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2009/0258596.html

That is exactly what I was looking for, depending on the link usage
(a2dp, sco) reduce the link supervision timeout to detect the link
loss faster. Well I guess the only option now is to do this
statically, which I don't think will address the problem completely
since we can only change the timeout once due to this patent.

Grrr, it is so obvious why people patent such generic usage, I really
hate software patents. Very frustrating.
