Description Marek Szuba archtester gentoo-dev 2008-07-06 20:43:53 UTC 
It would be useful for app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs to contain the files:

/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_bluetooth.la
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_bluetooth.so
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.la
/usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so

from >=net-wireless/bluez-utils-3.16, to be installed with USE="alsa bluetooth". These files provide ALSA support for Bluetooth audio devices, and having their 32-bit versions installed would allow using such devices with e.g. Skype.

This should as far as I can tell be fairly easy to implement - I have just manually copied those four files from an x86 Gentoo installation, and had no problems getting Skype to use my Bluetooth headset.

Should you need any more information, please let me know!

Best regards,
