I raised this as a wishlist bug, but have been prodded to move it here.
Maemo 5 Wishlist (I'd love S60 to do this too....)
1) I'm in the car with bluetooth stereo and bluetooth headset - I want A2DP audio to go to the stereo for music and phone calls to go to the headset and all other "system" sounds to go the device and the headset - not the stereo.
2) I'm at home, have Bluetooth speakers that support A2DP and various otherprofiles but have no microphone - I want to be able to tell N900 to never try and use audio in for this device - and preferably never to use this device for a call.
The solution I want is both (or at least one) of
a) I want priority list for each service type such as "Music", "Phone calls", "System alerts", "Ring tones", "Alarm tones" I set which devices to use in order, or not to disable - including the system speaker/headphones!
so I can have:
(The blackbox has no mic so out of the list)
"Music" 1) Sony Stereo xxx 2) Blackbox mini 3) Jabra BT530 4) Wired headset 5) Internal -) Jawbone Prime
(Although you _can_ play music on the prime - its crap, and I'd rather it go tothe speakers even when I have the prime in my ear, on and connected)
b) in the Paired devices list to be able to set "controls" on every device - ie be able to set options for each device like:
- type = music / phone calls / any - phone - ring_tones = yes / no / exclusive - alarm_tones = yes / no / excluseive - system_tones = yes / no / exclusive
where exclusive means to not send to other devices lower in the priority order or internal speakers.
