BlueTooth Headset

This site is intended to help with adding support for bluetooth headsets.

The hackish btsco kernel module method (http://bluetooth-alsa.sf.net/build.html#legacy) and even the cleaner alsa plugin method (http://bluetooth-alsa.sf.net/build.html) will not work on the 770. It boils down to this: these methods of doing bluetooth audio expect the "SCO" audio stream to be passed across the connection between the bluetooth chip and the cpu (the "HCI" connection).

The 770 is designed for the audio to go between the bluetooth chip and the DSP. This requires some DSP setup work so, for example, a VOIP application can send audio to the DSP and have it routed properly to bluetooth.

The BlueZ team has a high priority to make a daemon with a clean D-Bus API (http://bluetooth-alsa.sf.net/future.html) that can coordinate the high-level connection management of bluetooth audio devices. Combined with engineering from Nokia to coordinate the low-level DSP routing, we will have a solid bluetooth audio headset solution.
