Hi,

I might shed some light, as a bluez-alsa developer, on the test failure thingy :)

The problem is that both tests test-ctl and test-pcm require specific environment to run. In the log file you can see "Couldn't create run-state directory: /var/run/bluealsa: Permission denied" which is the root cause of failure.

Regarding test-ctl, this interface has been recently removed. There is no "test-ctl" in the bluez-alsa 2.0.0.

Regarding test-pcm, maybe it can be removed from the test when building bluez-alsa, because this test sometimes fails :) The problem is, that the alsa-lib is very buggy (in the area of software IO plug-in), and test-pcm tests behavior which is not very well documented nor tested on the alsa-lib side. However, in order to create PCM which is compatible with already existing applications, I have to have such test (just to detect regressions). If test-pcm fails (during development) I run it few times and see whether it fails always or I've been unlucky this time.
