Hi! Bluetooth-alsa project gives linux users the possibility to use bluetooth headsets. Libsbc is a library for audio coding just before sending it to a headset. Bluetooth-alsa-cvs ebuild installs two daemons: a2dpd and headsetd. This ebuild depends on libsbc. a2dpd daemon works perfect with my Sagem stereo headset, headsetd daemon not tested yet. It is said that a kernel patch should be applied for it to work. Known issues: 1. You may experiense periodic sound gaps. This is possibly due to some program which scans bluetooth neighborhood (for example, "hcitool scan" do this). Switch this feature off. Kdebluetooth do this, but where is an appropriate checkbox in its configuration. 2. Resampling is buggy. For example, "mplayer -ao alsa:device=a2dpd *.mp3" works fine on 41kHz, but sound is choppy on other frequenses. Use native mplayer resampler. 3. a2dpd blocks internal sound devices.

Created attachment 112867 [details, diff] patch to compile against bluez-libs-2.25
Please look also at bug #91558. It is out of date.
A couple of notes: - autoconf/automake dependencies are wrong - no need to depend on libtool, it's part of system - no need to depend on sys-apps/dbus; you should depend on the appropriate bindings only - USE=doc is not for installing user docs shipped with the tarball Anyway; we are not adding live VCS ebuilds; continue in the pending bug please. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 91558 ***
