A2DP vs. microphone

hi...

i just added this to our docs and I want to bounce it off you guys to make sure I'm reading things right:

A2DP provides a way to send stereo high-quality audio to some of the newer headsets. This is one-way audio, so if you were expecting to get something like a gaming headset (talking to other players, getting stereo sound back from the game) I guess the spec is lacking. It might be theoretically possible for a headset to accept simultaneous SCO and A2DP connections to do this but even if it's possible, no headset allows it.

Hi Brad,

SCO is bidirectional and thus using a Bluetooth headset for gaming is possible. The A2DP is a distribution service and you can have multiple sink and source combination. So a headphone can also have a microphone channel to send high quality voice (for voice recognition) back. However I haven't seen such a product so far, but it seems that the Toshiba SR-1 may is capable of something like that. Check my webpage.

Regards

Marcel
