Dear all
This ones for personal use. I want to stream xmms output via a usb bluetooth dongle to a bluetooth headset.
Kindly let me know what do i need to do to get this to work on a 2.6 series linux kernel and also are there any headsets with which such stuff is known to work w/o much trouble.

My experience with bluez: I have used bluetooth devices that use bluez stack for providing basic network connectivity. For example, I took two machines which had usb bluetooth dongles attached to them and I could run the regular client-server apps between them like ssh'ing from one to the other etc. But i dont have any experience with the profiles.

Kindly cc ur response to parakram AT gmail DOT com as i am not subscribed to this list.

Thanks

Parakram,

Do you want it to sound good? You'll need an a2dp stereo headset like the hp or the itech clip s.

xmms can currently play voice quality to most mono headsets but the software to make any sound app work with stereo is not finished.
